Trump Distances Himself from North Carolina's Controversial GOP Candidate

Former President Trump refrains from endorsing Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson amid scandal as he campaigns in North Carolina.

Mark Robinson, North Carolina's GOP gubernatorial candidate, is embroiled in controversy following a CNN report on past inflammatory comments.
Robinson has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against CNN over allegations of lewd comments on a pornography site.
Trump, who previously endorsed Robinson, now avoids committing to support him, citing unfamiliarity with the current race.
Democrats attempt to link Trump to Robinson to gain an advantage in the state, but Trump maintains a lead over Kamala Harris in polls.
Despite the controversy, North Carolina has seen record early voting turnout, which Trump praises during his campaign stops.
