The Democratic National Committee is launching a new advertising campaign in North Carolina linking Republican candidate for governor, Mark Robinson, to former President Donald Trump. By connecting the two, Democrats hope to erode Trump’s support in the battleground state, which has not been won by a Democratic presidential candidate since 2008. The digital ads and billboards featuring Robinson and Trump praising each other aim to highlight their close relationship. Robinson, the current lieutenant governor of North Carolina, has faced allegations of racist and anti-Semitic comments made on a pornographic website, which he has denied as “tabloid trash.” Trump has previously endorsed Robinson and called him “outstanding” and “one of the hottest politicians.” The DNC is leveraging Trump’s ties to Robinson to their advantage in the upcoming election, as the state could prove decisive in a close race. Both parties are focusing their efforts on North Carolina, with both Harris and Trump making campaign stops and pouring advertising dollars into the state. Polls show a close race between the two candidates, with Harris currently leading in support among likely voters. The political landscape in North Carolina is highly contentious, with Republicans facing backlash for their ties to Trump and Robinson’s controversial comments, while Democrats are ramping up their efforts to flip the state in their favor.
