"NC GOP Governor Nominee's Tax Troubles, Trump's Lead, and Black Voter Disagreement: A Warning Sign for Republicans"

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the GOP nominee for governor, failed to file federal income taxes for five years and filed for bankruptcy multiple times, despite his public criticism of government assistance. Bankruptcy records reveal a more dire financial history than previously disclosed, including repossession of vehicles and impending foreclosure. Robinson's campaign attributes the financial challenges to past struggles and distractions by Democrats, while his political rise has been marked by railing against the social safety net and calling for personal responsibility.
