HIGH POINT, N.C. — Republican candidate for governor, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson held a town hall in High Point Thursday.
He spoke with WFMY News 2's Nixon Norman about the state of his campaign and how he thinks he can win one-on-one.
Robinson touched on all sorts of topics Thursday, like public education, safety and the economy.
But really, he focused on getting those voters, who are on the fence, to commit to his side.
Robinson wants voters to put policy over personality, "you know, somebody may have a dry personality. Somebody may have a personality that's not necessarily appealing but if the policies they are championing and getting passed, are yielding great results, personality really doesn't matter," Robinson said.
It's been a while since we've seen him at local Trump rallies. You'll remember, the former president endorsed him when Robinson first entered the race. When asked about it, he said his campaign has to be his top priority right now.
"It's all about us running our own campaigns. You know, so, we have full confidence… he still has my support. I'm sure that I still have his but we have our own campaigns to run. He understands that I have to go after those 11% of voters that are undecided," Robinson said.
WFMY News 2's Nixon Norman also asked him about Hurricane Helene and how he would handle the aftermath.
"Other than trying to help people recover physically and mentally, and trying to bring home the lost, we have to make sure… we have to make sure that we make a blue print of this so that we have an effective plan to meet this challenge the next time it comes to our doorstep," Robinson said.
Robinson answered questions about his stance on abortion as well. He said he's still pro-life but he's willing to concede to the "law of the land" that allows for abortion up to 12 weeks.
WFMY News 2 also asked him about the recent CNN article, he said he's leaving that to his lawyers.
