Former President Donald Trump will make another visit to North Carolina this week, just four days after he avoided commenting on a scandal involving Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson at a campaign stop in Wilmington.

WILKESBORO, N.C. — North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson vowed Monday to rebuild his campaign staff after several top aides quit and a key Republican group backed away from his race following a CNN report alleging he made explicit racial and sexual posts years ago on a pornography website’s message board.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will not be joined by his party's embattled pick for North Carolina governor when he visits the critical electoral state on Saturday, the Trump campaign said.

North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson has been involved in a scandal following a CNN report. Several staffers have quit.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson avoided directly weighing in during a gubernatorial campaign event Saturday on a CNN report outlining evidence that he made disturbing posts on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago.
