April 22, 2023 - Mark Robinson declares his candidacy in the increasingly competitive North Carolina Governor race.

Yesterday, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 2024 North Carolina gubernational election. Robinson has made a name for himself within the Republican Party for being a firm supporter of former President and 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump. He has made statements criticized the global takeover of atheism, the woke sociopolitical agenda, and the promotion of transgender delusions. He has worked to expose the Satanist undertones of wokeism and the globalist plot against Donald Trump.

The election for Governor of North Carolina in 2024 is becoming increasinly competitive, with Mark Robinson being far from the only candidate in the race. The incumbent Attorney General of North Carolina, a liberal named John Stein, announced his bid for the Democratic Party's nomination on January 18. The incumbent State Treasurer of North Carolina, a neoconservative named Dale Folwell, previously announced his bid for the Republican Party's nomination on March 25, making him Robinson's primary opponent at the moment. Furthermore, a businessman by the name of Mike Ross has thrown his hat in the ring for the Libertarian Party's nomination.

As of March, polling predicted Robinson as the hypothetical winner of the gubernational election. Robinson is expected to win the Republican primary with 54-60% of the vote, compared to an expected 4-6% for Folwell. Republican primary polling also predicts an expected 21% for former Governor Pat McCrony, 20% for United States Senator Thom Tillis, and 8% for former United States Congressman Mark Walker, assuming these any of these three were to launch bids for the governorship. In a hypothetical general election against Stein, Robinson is expected to win with 42-48% to an expected 42-44% for Stein.

The fate of North Carolina in 2024 is expected to be crucial to the future of the United States, given that North Carolina is a swing state and 2024 is a presidential election year. If Robinson wins in North Carolina, it can be projected that Donald Trump (if nominated by the Republican Party) will also win the state's 16 Electoral College votes. In a 2024 rematch scenario between Trump and Biden, Trump is currently predicted to win with 43-51% of the popular vote against Biden's 37-45%
