North Carolina’s Twice-Boosted Attorney General Suffers a Stroke at Age 55
North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein had a minor stroke on Monday night, he reported on Tuesday on Twitter.
Last night I had stroke-like symptoms after Anna and I walked our dog Jenny so I went to the hospital. Doctors confirmed that I had a minor stroke and performed a successful procedure to remove a small blood clot.

“Last night I had stroke-like symptoms after Anna and I walked our dog Jenny, so I went to the hospital. Doctors confirmed that I had a minor stroke and performed a successful procedure to remove a small blood clot,” Stein said.
Anna is Stein’s wife.
“I’m feeling back to normal now and am beyond blessed to have no lingering effects,” Stein said. “My doctor wants me to stay here for another day or two to get some rest before I get back to work. Anna is my hero for recognizing that something was wrong and insisting that I go to the hospital.”
Stein announced May 17 that he had tested positive for COVID-19 the day before but said he had no symptoms.
Unfortunately, I tested positive for Covid-19 this afternoon. I’m grateful to be fully vaccinated and twice boosted, and fortunately, I’m asymptomatic. I’ll be lying low & working from home for a few days per the CDC recommendations. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated!

Very sad to learn of this tragic news. David Freedman was an excellent lawyer and a good man. It’s a tragedy that, even vaccinated, he died of COVID. Everyone please be careful – get vaccinated and wear masks indoors; let’s stop the spread to the fullest extent possible. https://t.co/bFeWjGGNPs
