North Carolina, which Trump won in 2016 and 2020, is a hotly contested state as Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris try to win the presidency. In the Real Clear Politics polling average, Trump leads Harris, 47.6% to 47.1%, in the state, and the Cook Political Report has rated the race as a "toss-up."
The gubernatorial race in the state has been rocked by a CNN report alleging that Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson posted messages calling himself a “black Nazi” and used racist, antisemitic, and homophobic slurs on a pornography site’s message board. Robinson called the report “salacious tabloid trash” and said he would not drop out of the race.
