"Welcome to the governor’s race edition of our Under the Dome politics newsletter. I’m Dawn Vaughan, The News & Observer’s Capitol bureau chief. This past week, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump both made campaign stops in North Carolina. And both candidates for governor, Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, gave speeches ahead of the top-of-ballot candidates.
On the same day Robinson was in Asheville with Trump, a group of progressive clergy brought together by Progress NC Action criticized Robinson over his latest campaign ad, in which he takes a new policy position on the state’s abortion law that represents a major change from what he’s been saying for years. The ad shows Robinson and his wife, Yolanda Hill, talking about the abortion she had many years ago, and then segues to Robinson saying he’ll stand by the current abortion law, which bans it after 12 weeks with exceptions. “Honestly, I have no faith in Mark Robinson’s new commitment to uphold the state’s current abortion law allowing access up to 12 weeks,” the Rev. Chalice Overy said at a news conference. Overy said that Robinson has “given no explanation of what has sparked his change of heart from earlier in the year, when he outlines a plan to get it down from 12 weeks to six weeks, and then go on from there.”"
