North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson will not appear at former President Donald Trump’s rally in the eastern part of his state after a CNN report about his alleged posts on a pornography website’s message board.

Plus, the states where voter suppression efforts are already ramping up and the Buckeye State's very expensive Senate race in this week’s 3-Minute Read from Jen Psaki.

Explosive posts by the Republican candidate for governor, Mark Robinson, are sending waves of anxiety through a state party that has long been tactical and disciplined.

A CNN investigation found Mark Robinson once posted salacious remarks on a pornography website. Here's what the Harris and Trump campaigns said about it.

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.

In a written order Thursday, Judge Keith Gregory rejected the RNC's claim that the use of so-called Mobile One cards could lead to voter fraud or vote dilution. "Plaintiffs have not advanced any credible link between the State Board's approval of Mobile One Cards and a heightened risk of ineligible voters casting illegal votes," Gregory said.

The Tar Heel State, where the GOP gubernatorial candidate is steeped in controversy, is a critical battleground in the presidential race.

As Mark Robinson faces calls to drop out of the North Carolina gubernatorial race, Bryan Anderson, a political journalist from North Carolina, joins Top Story to explain how he had early insight to the allegations against the Republican candidate.

North Carolina has remained “stubbornly Republican”, said Greene. Barack Obama was the only Democrat to win the state in 44 years, and he only won it once, in 2008. But the state’s growing urban centres have tilted the political scales towards Democrats, who hope this is the year they can turn North Carolina blue.

Donald Trump risks being doomed by what he wrought in North Carolina. An already fiercely fought presidential contest in the critical swing state was thrown into greater turmoil Thursday by a stunning CNN investigation revealing a porn-site scandal surrounding Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson.

North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson is remaining in the race despite a controversial CNN report. Former Rep. Carlos Curbelo and The Cook Political Report senior editor and elections analyst David Wasserman join José Díaz-Balart to discuss their outlook for North Carolina this election.
