Pat McCrory on Monday conceded to Democratic challenger Roy Cooper in the North Carolina governor’s contest after his margin of defeat only widened amid a weeks-long canvassing of provisional and absentee ballots.
“Despite continued questions that should be answered regarding the voting process, I personally believe that the majority of our citizens have spoken and we should now do everything we can to support the 75th governor of North Carolina,” McCory, whose support of a controversial religious liberty proposal became a fixture of the general election, said in a video message.
Cooper led McCrory by more than 10,000 votes in the latest tally Monday.
