Former President Donald Trump did not mention North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, his party’s nominee, during a recent rally in the state, following a news report about Robinson’s controversial online comments. Trump emphasized the importance of winning North Carolina in the upcoming election, but did not address the Robinson controversy. Robinson, the state’s lieutenant governor, has denied being the author of the inflammatory comments highlighted by CNN. Despite efforts by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign to link Trump and Robinson, the former President did not comment on the situation or whether Robinson should drop out of the race.
During the rally, Trump focused on appealing to women voters, highlighting economic and safety concerns and advocating for state control over abortion policies. The rally also included the launch of Trump’s official coins on his Truth Social website. The Trump campaign issued a statement praising North Carolina voters but did not mention Robinson by name, emphasizing the importance of winning the White House and focusing on the upcoming election.
Overall, Trump’s rally in North Carolina did not address the controversy surrounding Mark Robinson, and instead focused on appealing to women voters and promoting his campaign initiatives. Despite attempts to link Trump to Robinson and downplay support for the gubernatorial candidate, Trump remained focused on his overall campaign goals and the importance of winning key battleground states like North Carolina.
