North Carolina GOP Lieutenant Gov. Mark Robinson officially announced his plans to run for governor in 2024 at an Ace Speedway rally.

"Today we make it official, I am running for Governor of North Carolina," Robinson said to the crowd, according to Fox 8.

Robinson discussed his faith and thanked his supporters before making his campaign announcement. 

Robinson was elected lieutenant governor of North Carolina in 2020.

There was a recorded message from GOP North Carolina Congressman Dan Bishop that preceded Robinson's appearance at the rally.

"I endorse his candidacy with everything I got," Bishop said in the video.
