Two congressmen, Democrat Jeff Jackson (left) and Dan Bishop (right) are seeking the office of North Carolina Attorney General in the 2024 election.

This November, North Carolina will elect a new attorney general. Despite the importance of the position, WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Colin Campbell asserts that the race between Republican candidate Dan Bishop and Democratic candidate Jeff Jackson is "sleepier" than he would have predicted, at this stage of the campaign.

Colin joins co-host Jeff Tiberii to discuss what is at stake in the contest.
