Mark Robinson delivers defiant sermon while targeting 2026 Senate election
Robinson was defeated handily at the hands of Attorney General Josh Stein. But the lieutenant governor, who rose to prominence through headline-making speeches and declarations, delivered a new one after the election: a wide-ranging, 40-minute sermon addressing abortion, transgender people and his own political career. He repeatedly blasted elected officials in Raleigh and Washington, decrying them as selfish and cowardly.

“You need people who are there for the right reasons,” Robinson said. “That’s what’s wrong with Washington D.C. right now. It is full of people who are there for the wrong reasons. People who sit there and declare, ‘this is my seat. I don’t want to lose my seat. I’m fighting to keep my seat.’ Who told you it was your seat?”

And he made it clear he was uninterested in being welcomed into elite circles. Top Republicans abandoned Robinson’s gubernatorial bid following reporting by CNN.

“You gonna open that wound? Guess what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna dump salt right in it, and I’m gonna rub it in,” Robinson said. “You can get mad at me, you cannot like me, you can keep me out of your little club if you want to. I don’t care! I don’t want to be in your little club! I don’t need your approval. I don’t need for you to like me. When I come in the room – as a matter of fact, in some rooms, when I come in, I want you to cringe.”

The remarks will only fuel speculation of a potential primary challenge to U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, whose seat is up for election in 2026.
