“Mark Robinson has made inflammatory comments that could jeopardize his gubernatorial bid — and the GOP’s quest to gain complete statewide power in the swing state of North Carolina,” Politico reports.
“The lieutenant governor is also being crushed in fundraising by his Democratic opponent, Attorney General Josh Stein.”
“It is against this backdrop that Republicans on Tuesday approved a campaign finance proposal that changes how funds flow to state parties and the reporting requirements attached to that money. But Democrats are crying foul, saying the GOP rushed through surprise changes to state law that would allow donors to back Robinson without having to directly attach their names to his candidacy.”
