Senator JD Vance addressed the bombshell reports about Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina backed by Donald Trump, for the first time on Saturday. He told NBC News that accusations "aren't necessarily reality."
"Well, look, the allegations are pretty far out there, of course. But I know that allegations aren't necessarily reality. And what I'd say is, it's ultimately up to Mark Robinson and North Carolina whether he's going to be their governor and whether he wants to stay in the race. I'll let them make that decision," Vance said.
