North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and the current Republican candidate for governor says he's staying in the gubernatorial race despite facing calls to drop out amid allegations of "activity on adult websites" in the 2000s, according to The Carolina Journal. Sources also told the Journal that members of Donald Trump's campaign are encouraging Robinson to drop out of the race. The reports come after Robinson canceled two campaign events Thursday. He was scheduled to appear alongside Sen. JD Vance, but his campaign said Robinson tested positive for COVID. Robinson secured the GOP nomination for governor in March. He would be the state's first Black governor if he wins the election. Trump endorsed Robinson this spring, calling him "Martin Luther King on steroids."
