We fight, We win
National Republican groups are pulling financial support for Mark Robinson, the party’s scandal-plagued nominee in the North Carolina governor’s race, as he tries to weather the fallout from a CNN report on inflammatory comments he made on a porn website.
In a statement Monday, the Republican Governors Association acknowledged that after its current media buy expires on Tuesday, “no further placements have been made.”
“We don’t comment on internal strategy or investment decisions, but we can confirm what’s public – our current media buy in North Carolina expires tomorrow, and no further placements have been made. RGA remains committed to electing Republican Governors all across the country,” RGA communications director Courtney Alexander said in a statement.
The decision came after former President Donald Trump did not once mention Robinson during a weekend campaign rally in the Tar Heel State – an indication of how quickly the party is attempting to distance itself from a man Trump had once compared to Martin Luther King Jr.
Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, was campaigning Monday in Charlotte – signaling that Republicans cannot ignore a state that is crucial to Trump’s path to 270 electoral college votes, even with its gubernatorial nominee mired in controversy.
