Donald Trump is set to campaign in Wilmington, North Carolina, this Saturday, a crucial battleground state for both parties. However, Lt. Gov.

Robinson has denied the claims, calling them “salacious tabloid lies.”
Trump’s campaign distanced itself from the controversy, focusing on winning the state, which he narrowly carried in 2020.
