The hits just keep on coming for North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson’s 2024 gubernatorial campaign. Days after National Review reported on Friday that a Robinson fundraiser with special guest Tennessee governor Bill Lee, the chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA), was called off, a spokeswoman for the group tells NR that there are no plans to commit additional spending on the gubernatorial nominee’s behalf in the lead-up to Election Day.
Even though North Carolina has long been seen as one of the RGA’s best pickup opportunities this cycle, public polling had suggested that Robinson was lagging behind Democratic attorney general Josh Stein in the weeks before CNN published its report.
