Four key staff members of Mark Robinson’s campaign for North Carolina governor have resigned, although the reasons for their departures were not specified. The departures were announced amidst calls from Republicans for Robinson to step down following allegations of racist and antisemitic comments he made years ago on a porn website, as reported by CNN. Robinson denied the allegations and expressed confidence in his campaign’s ability to win the race on November 5. Republicans have supported Robinson, with the North Carolina Republican Party emphasizing his denial of the allegations. Democrats have sought to link Robinson to former President Donald Trump, with Trump endorsing Robinson in the governor’s race. Polls indicate a tight race in North Carolina, with Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, stating that winning the presidential race without North Carolina would be challenging. Robinson’s campaign will announce new staff roles in the coming days as the race for North Carolina governor continues to generate attention and controversy.
