North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said the controversy surrounding Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson could help Vice President Kamala Harris flip his state for Democrats on Election Day.
Robinson, a Republican running to replace Cooper, a Democrat, has come under fire after CNN reported that he posted sexually explicit and derogatory content on an adult website, including describing himself as a Black Nazi, condoning slavery, using antisemitic language to refer to Jewish people, and discussing watching young women shower.
Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has endorsed Robinson and is planning to hold a rally in the state on Saturday, though the North Carolina candidate is not expected to attend, according to the Associated Press.
Even before this, that Kamala Harris was on track to make history and win North Carolina, Cooper said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Friday. I think North Carolina can make history again, and I think this makes it more likely, because Donald Trump has embraced Mark Robinson.
