Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson "is currently being treated for burns," his communications director confirmed to NBC News on Friday night.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson "is currently being treated for burns," his communications director confirmed to NBC News on Friday night.
"Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is currently being treated for burns following an incident at a campaign event in Mt. Airy. He is in good spirits," said Mike Lonergan, the Robinson campaign's communications director.
Lonergan was responding to an NBC News question about a NewsNation report saying that the North Carolina candidate was hospitalized.
Details surrounding the incident are unclear.
Robinson was previously set to speak during a North Carolina Faith & Freedom event on Saturday, but an organizer for the event said Friday night that the event had to be canceled, noting that the venue did not have power. Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc in parts of North Carolina, especially the western region of the state, where the event was going to be held.
