The Republican nominee for attorney general isn’t retracting his support for the embattled gubernatorial candidate. Bishop has in the past described Robinson as “groundbreaking” and “the most formidable candidate [he’s] ever seen in North Carolina.”
The Senate filibuster rule requires a 60-vote threshold for most legislation to pass, making it virtually impossible to pass abortion rights legislation due to Republican opposition. Without the filibuster, a law restoring Roe v. Wade could pass with a simple majority, or 51 Senate votes.
Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor, said in multiple events recently that he eventually wants to see full abortion ban in North Carolina, despite his campaign ad last month in which he said he "stands behind" the state's "common sense" 12-week abortion ban.
Despite Trump's claims at the debate with Kamala Harris, most states with abortion bans, including North Carolina, have refused to allow voters to decide whether to protect abortion rights.
Ex-President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris met for their first presidential debate—and Trump unleashed a barrage of lies and misleading claims.
Trump spent much of Tuesday’s debate lying about his position on abortion, repeatedly spreading conspiracy theories about Democrats executing infants, and downplaying the very real consequences of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The current and potentially future second spouse visited Raleigh as part of the Harris campaign’s Fighting for Reproductive Freedom tour, which aims to highlight the stark contrast between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on reproductive rights.
In addition to the Supreme Court race, there are also three seats on the NC Court of Appeals on the ballot. Judge Carolyn Thompson, Marion Martin, and Ed Eldred are all incredibly qualified candidates. They believe in the rule of law, that due process and equal protection matter, and that power and money should not sway decisions.
A North Carolina woman says Mark Robinson's latest ad is trying to soften his stance on abortion rights, but she says he's an extremist who would support a total abortion ban.
Vice President Harris and Governor Walz have strong track records of fighting for reproductive rights, increasing access to affordable health care, and supporting policies that help families thrive.
