Mark Robinson Scandal Rocks NC GOP, Threatens Trump’s 2024 Bid

Allegations of racist and sexist posts by North Carolina's gubernatorial nominee prompt GOP to withdraw support and could impact Trump's campaign.

  • Mark Robinson, North Carolina's GOP gubernatorial candidate, faces backlash over alleged racist and sexist comments on a pornography forum.
  • Robinson's scandal has led to the resignation of several top campaign staff and the withdrawal of financial support from the Republican Governors Association.
  • Donald Trump, who previously endorsed Robinson, has distanced himself from the embattled candidate amid the growing controversy.
  • Political analysts are divided on whether Robinson's troubles will significantly affect Trump's narrow lead in North Carolina against Kamala Harris.
  • North Carolina's history of ticket-splitting means voters may still support Trump for president while rejecting Robinson for governor.
