CHARLOTTE — North Carolina‘s scandal-plagued Republican gubernatorial candidate doesn’t appear to be dragging down former President Donald Trump at the ballot box.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) refused to drop out of the 2024 election after reports surfaced detailing Robinson’s history of posting vulgar, anti-Semitic comments on pornographic websites. Robinson had previously been a lightning rod for controversy following a string of inflammatory comments made throughout his political career.
