Four employees of Mark Robinson’s campaign resign amidst ongoing challenges

Four key members of Mark Robinson’s campaign for North Carolina governor have resigned amidst calls for the candidate to step down following allegations of making racist and antisemitic comments in the past. The campaign did not connect the departures to the allegations, and did not provide reasons for the resignations. Robinson, a Republican, denied the allegations and vowed to stay in the race. The North Carolina Republican Party reaffirmed its support for Robinson. On the other hand, Democrats have tried to associate Robinson with former President Donald Trump and have released ads highlighting Trump’s endorsement of Robinson. Trump has pledged to continue supporting Robinson. Democrats view North Carolina as a potential battleground state in the upcoming presidential election and have allocated resources accordingly. Polls show a close race in North Carolina, with Trump’s running mate acknowledging the importance of winning the state. Robinson expressed confidence in his campaign’s ability to make its case to voters and secure a win in the election. New staff roles are expected to be announced soon within the campaign.
