A last-minute plea by former President Donald Trump to give first-term congressman Madison Cawthorn 'a second chance' is not enough to hold off a challenge by state Senator Chuck Edwards.
WASHINGTON, DC, USA – North Carolina Republicans on Tuesday, May 17, voted to end controversial freshman congressman Madison Cawthorn’s time in office, aftera string of self-inflicted controversies turned major figures in their party against him.
Edwards won 33.4% of the vote to Cawthorn’s 31.9%, according to Edison Research. Cawthorn congratulated Edwards on Twitter and urged the party to unite behind him. His spokesman Luke Ball said Cawthorn had called Edwards to concede defeat. “I just see a lack of judgment,” said Republican US Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who said Cawthorn had not demonstrated a serious interest in serving as a legislator even when the state was hit by flooding.
Cawthorn was seen as a rising star of the Republican Party after the political newcomer defeated a Trump-endorsed candidate in 2020.
