As the host city for Super Bowl LIX, New Orleans expects to welcome more than 100,000 visitors for the Feb. 9 game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. At least a million more people will be celebrating Mardi Gras, the city’s biggest tourist draw annually, less than a month later.

But a terrorist attack on New Year’s Day, which killed 14 people and injured dozens more on the tourist-filled thoroughfare of Bourbon Street, has cast a pall over the city.

New or expanded security efforts are planned, including aerial surveillance and assigning more plainclothes officers. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security, the federal agency responsible for public security, including antiterrorism and disaster prevention, upgraded its security assessment of the city’s Mardi Gras parades to its highest rating, which allows for additional funding and resources to be supplied. The Super Bowl was already assessed at its highest level.

Robinson’s history of comments that have been widely criticized as antisemitic and anti-gay made him a deeply polarizing figure in North Carolina long before his bid for governor was upended last week by a CNN report that he had called himself a “Black NAZI” and praised slavery while posting on a pornographic website between 2008 and 2012. Now, some of his allies are abandoning him. Most of his senior campaign staff members have resigned. The Republican Governors Association said that its pro-Robinson ads would expire tomorrow and that no new ones had been placed. And former President Donald Trump, who endorsed Robinson in the spring, calling him “Martin Luther King on steroids,” did not mention him once during his rally in the state over the weekend.
