Senator JD Vance commented on the allegations against Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, stating that “allegations aren’t necessarily reality.” Robinson reportedly made controversial comments on a porn site years ago, including referring to himself as a “black Nazi” and making racist remarks. While some in the party have expressed concern, Robinson has denied the allegations and plans to stay in the race. Vance stated that it is up to the people of North Carolina and Robinson to decide his fate. Vance also mentioned that his ticket does not have plans to campaign with Robinson. North Carolina is considered a crucial state for Republicans, with Trump previously endorsing Robinson and praising him as “Martin Luther King on steroids.” However, Robinson is polling behind his Democratic opponent in the gubernatorial race. Despite the controversy, there are no plans for Trump to withdraw his endorsement of Robinson. The situation is ongoing and will likely continue to be investigated by the media and public. Vance is set to be in North Carolina on Monday, signaling the importance of the state in the upcoming election. The race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remains tight in North Carolina.
