Donald Trump returns Saturday for a campaign rally in North Carolina, where the former president is confronting a mess he played a key role in making in the critical battleground state.

Trump did not mention Robinson − his party's nominee for governor of a key state − before or during an airport rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, two days after a bombshell news report about Robinson's online habits threatened Trump's chances in a key battleground.

Donald Trump delivered a speech attacking rival Kamala Harris and detailing his campaign pledges during a visit to North Carolina, while avoiding mention of the state’s Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson and the firestorm surrounding his candidacy.
