Senator JD Vance commented on the allegations against Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, Mark Robinson, stating that allegations are not necessarily reality. Robinson allegedly made controversial comments on a porn site years ago, which have raised concerns in his own party. The North Carolina Republican Party has reiterated that Robinson has denied the allegations, and he has stated that he will stay in the race. Vance stated that it is up to Robinson and the people of North Carolina to decide his political fate. Vance also mentioned that his ticket does not have plans to campaign with Robinson. Despite the allegations, former President Trump is not expected to withdraw his endorsement of Robinson. North Carolina is a crucial state for Republicans to win in order to secure the White House, with tight polling between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. In the gubernatorial race, Robinson is behind his Democratic opponent, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein. The situation surrounding the allegations against Robinson is still unfolding, and Vance believes it needs to play out in the court of public opinion before making any definitive judgments.
