Former President Donald Trump is speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, at around 2:00 p.m. Eastern on Saturday. It’s the first rally Trump has held in the state since North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson faced allegations Thursday that he posted offensive comments on a pornographic message board over a decade ago.

The former president did not mention Mr. Robinson, the state’s embattled Republican nominee for governor, whom he once called “Martin Luther King on steroids.”

Trump did not mention Robinson − his party's nominee for governor of a key state − before or during an airport rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, two days after a bombshell news report about Robinson's online habits threatened Trump's chances in a key battleground.
