Four Staffers Resign from Mark Robinson's Campaign

Mark Robinson's campaign for North Carolina governor faces turmoil as four senior staff members resigned following a CNN report alleging he made racist and sexually explicit posts on a pornographic message board. The resignations include key figures such as campaign manager Chris Rodriguez and senior adviser Conrad Pogorzelski III, with Robinson affirming his commitment to the race despite calls for his withdrawal. He dismissed the report as 'salacious tabloid trash' and attributed the leaks to his Democratic opponent, Josh Stein. The North Carolina Republican Party has backed Robinson, emphasizing his denial of the allegations. Robinson claims that polls underestimate Republican support in the state, asserting confidence in a strong campaign leading up to the November election. The resignations come just weeks before the election, raising concerns about the campaign's stability.
