Mark Robinson, the former lieutenant governor of North Carolina, has dropped his lawsuit against CNN, claiming that continuing would be 'futile' due to the unrecognized costs of his political involvement. He announced that he will not run for Senate or any other office in 2026, despite being a favored candidate among conservatives to replace Senator Thom Tillis. The lawsuit arose from a controversial CNN report linking him to a pornographic website and highlighting his contentious statements regarding race and sexuality during his political career, which culminated in a lost gubernatorial campaign in 2024.
Robinson stated pursuing his lawsuit against CNN would be 'futile,' feeling that the sacrifices made in politics are unrecognized.
Dropping the lawsuit, Robinson also indicated he does not plan to run for Senate or any office in 2026.
