Former President Donald Trump held a rally in North Carolina but did not mention gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, who has been embroiled in controversy over inflammatory online comments from over a decade ago. Robinson denies being the author of these posts, which include references to being a “black NAZI!” and expressing support for slavery. Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris are trying to link Trump to Robinson to gain an advantage in the key battleground state. The Harris campaign issued a memo stating that the fates of Trump and Robinson are tied together due to their shared positions on abortion, healthcare, and education. Trump, during his rally, focused on appealing to women voters by claiming they were worse off economically and less safe under the current administration. He also announced the launch of his Official Trump Coins on his Truth Social website. Despite the controversy surrounding Robinson, the Trump campaign expressed appreciation for North Carolina voters without mentioning Robinson by name, stating that their focus was on winning the White House. Overall, the rally in North Carolina was marked by Trump’s efforts to appeal to women voters and his messaging on economic and safety concerns, while the controversy surrounding Robinson remains unresolved.
