CHASER: …before today claiming that he is "not familiar with the race."

Politico: "Asked by POLITICO at a campaign stop on Monday whether he would urge voters here to still support Mark Robinson, Trump declined to say either way.

"'I'm not familiar with the state of the race right now,' Trump told POLITICO as he prepared to step into the black SUV that would whisk him back to his private plane. 'I haven't seen it.'"

LIME: I mean…
