Senate Republicans addressed the scandal surrounding North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, whose campaign has faced turmoil following the exposure of his X-rated and racist posts on a porn website. Sen. Thom Tillis refrained from disclosing his vote for Robinson in November, emphasizing his focus on supporting Donald Trump's campaign in North Carolina and down-ticket candidates instead.

Tillis stated, 'I won't be campaigning for Robinson. How I vote is less relevant than what I'm focused on.' While he believed the scandal wouldn't impact Trump's prospects in the state, he urged Robinson to address the allegations promptly, emphasizing the need to 'move on' if they are true.
