The state’s sitting lieutenant governor, endorsed for office by Donald Trump and the state’s Republican Party, was heading into this week without a campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, or virtually anyone else beyond a spokesman. Things got even weirder Sunday evening as serial fraudster Jack Burkman tweeted that he was taking over Robinson’s campaign. It’s a state Trump won over Joe Biden by less than two percentage points in 2020, and where he is leading Harris by a similar margin according to polling of 2024. Stein’s embrace of Harris could boost her in the state, and he has already made one appearance at a rally with the vice president earlier this month.
