Kamala Harris campaign seizes on suburban women as key in North Carolina strategy
Kamala Harris is targeting women, among other groups, in North Carolina, as GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson is embroiled in a fresh scandal.
When Vice President Kamala Harris took the reins of the Democratic nomination in late July, something happened in North Carolina.
Volunteers started pouring in by the thousands. Of the more than 23,500 people who stepped forward, 94% of them had never done so before, according to the campaign. In the week after President Joe Biden stepped aside, voter registration among women overall spiked and was even more pronounced among women of color, according to a tracking firm.
And all of it happened before the worst scandal yet hit GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, in which he proclaimed himself, according to CNN reporting, a “Black Nazi.”
Robinson had already been regularly featured in North Carolina ads targeted at women where he advocated for a ban on all abortion, saying that it wasn’t about the life of a mother.
“It’s about killing a child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down,” Robinson says on video.
