TL;DR
Mark Robinson, the GOP nominee for governor of North Carolina, has won the party's nomination despite his extreme right-wing views, including hateful remarks, conspiracy theories, and Holocaust denial. His nomination suggests that GOP primary voters in the battleground state are not concerned with electability. Democrats hope to capitalize on Robinson's extremism in the upcoming election, but the state's history of voting for Republican candidates, including Donald Trump, suggests that the race will be closely contested.
