Sen. JD Vance commented for the first time on the allegations against Republican candidate for North Carolina governor Mark Robinson, calling them “far out there” and emphasizing that allegations are not necessarily reality. Robinson allegedly made controversial comments on a porn site years ago, leading to concerns within his own party. The North Carolina Republican Party released a statement reiterating Robinson’s denial of the allegations. Vance stated that it is up to Robinson and the people of North Carolina to decide his fate in the race. He also mentioned that his ticket does not have plans to campaign with Robinson. Despite the controversy, former President Trump has not withdrawn his endorsement of Robinson and has previously praised him. North Carolina is a crucial state for Republicans, and the gubernatorial race is closely watched, with Robinson polling behind his Democratic opponent, Josh Stein. Polling also indicates a tight race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in the state. Vance mentioned that the situation with Robinson needs to play out, and he will not pass judgment until further investigation is conducted. The allegations have raised concerns and brought attention to the gubernatorial race in North Carolina.
