In recent weeks, several Republican lawmakers have called on Forest to resign, saying that he has lost the confidence of the people of North Carolina.

Forest has defended his record, saying that he has done everything he can to protect the state’s economy and businesses during the pandemic.

It remains to be seen whether Robinson’s challenge will be successful, but it is clear that Forest is facing a significant challenge from within his own party.

Robinson is a strong supporter of President Donald Trump, while Forest is a more moderate Republican.

The outcome of the primary election could have a significant impact on the 2022 general election, as the winner will be the favorite to win the seat.
