The Democratic National Committee has launched new advertisements aiming to link Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina, to former President Donald Trump. By highlighting how Trump has praised Robinson, Democrats hope to erode Trump’s support in the state. The digital advertisements and billboards will target North Carolina voters, emphasizing the close ties between Robinson and Trump. Robinson, who is North Carolina’s lieutenant governor, has faced controversy over racist and antisemitic comments made on a pornographic website. Despite these allegations, Trump has continued to praise Robinson and endorse him for governor. The DNC sees North Carolina as a crucial state in the upcoming election, as a Democratic presidential candidate has not won there since 2008. The Trump campaign responded by focusing on their record of a strong economy and border security, confident in winning the state once again. Democrats are investing heavily in North Carolina, with Harris campaigning in the state and multiple rallies drawing significant crowds. Recent polls indicate a close race between Harris and Trump in North Carolina. Democrats hope that by linking Robinson to Trump, they can sway voters and potentially flip the state in their favor in November.
