Trump deals with consequences of Mark Robinson’s recent controversy: An Update on Political Affairs

In today’s edition of From the Politics Desk, the newsletter covers Donald Trump’s response to the scandal surrounding North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson and how polls have changed in the past two months. Trump is facing pressure to pull his endorsement of Robinson after CNN reported offensive comments he made on a porn website. Despite calls from allies and within his campaign, Trump has not announced any plans to drop his support for Robinson. Democrats are seizing on the scandal, with the DNC running ads linking Trump to Robinson. Additionally, polls show that Democrats are in a stronger position following Biden’s departure from the race, and the battleground map looks more favorable for them. Undecided voters who were previously unsure about Trump are now considering backing Harris. The newsletter also covers other top stories, including Trump allies on Georgia’s election board requiring hand-counting of ballots, the rejection of Green Party nominee Jill Stein’s last-ditch request to be on the Nevada ballot, early voting starting in multiple states, and a bill to boost Secret Service protection for presidential nominees passing in the House. The newsletter ends with a plea from FLOTUS Jill Biden for a peaceful transfer of power and coverage of Trump’s recycled predictions from his 2020 campaign in his current race against Harris.
