LEESPORT, Pa. — Sen. JD Vance on Saturday reacted for the first time to the bombshell report about Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, saying that the allegations against Robinson "aren't necessarily reality."
“The allegations are pretty far out there, of course, but I know that allegations aren’t necessarily reality,” Vance, R-Ohio, said of Robinson’s reported comments on a porn site.
The North Carolina Republican Party on Thursday issued a statement reiterating that Robinson has "categorically denied the allegations."
North Carolina is considered a crucial state for Republicans to win in order to secure the White House.
In the gubernatorial contest, Robinson is polling well behind his Democratic opponent, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein.
