Former President Trump endorsed GOP candidate Mark Robinson for North Carolina governor on Saturday, humorously dubbing him "Martin Luther King on steroids." Trump made the comment at a campaign rally in Greensboro, adding that Robinson, who already serves as lieutenant governor in North Carolina, didn't know how to react to the exaggerated remark.Trump continued to praise Robinson, saying, "I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two." Robinson is the favorite to win the GOP nomination, with endorsements from Trump and the NRA.In response to Trump's endorsement, Robinson expressed his gratitude, stating, "What an honor to welcome President Donald Trump to my hometown of Greensboro today! I am humbled to have his endorsement." Robinson emphasized the need for strong leadership in the face of the "failed Biden-Stein agenda."Robinson, who became North Carolina's first black American lieutenant governor in 2021, announced his candidacy for governor last April. He gained national attention in 2018 with a viral speech on gun rights before the city council, where he passionately defended the 2nd Amendment.Robinson's bold and outspoken approach has resonated with many, making him a prominent figure in North Carolina politics. His partnership with Trump and commitment to fighting against the Democrat agenda have solidified his position as a formidable candidate for governor.
