The North Carolina gubernatorial race is engulfed in controversy as Mark Robinson, endorsed by Donald Trump, faces backlash over lewd posts on a porn forum and disturbing comments linking him to Nazi ideology. Following revelations of his past remarks, including endorsements of slavery and antisemitic views, Robinson's campaign has been significantly affected. The NC GOP is concerned about the potential fallout, as prominent figures, including Sen. Thom Tillis, are urging him to either counter the allegations or withdraw from the race. While Democrats, led by candidate Josh Stein, see an opportunity to tie the GOP to Robinson's scandals, the situation has put Republicans on edge in this crucial swing state. Reports indicate that Robinson will not be attending Trump’s rally amidst the controversies that threaten to derail his gubernatorial ambitions.
