    A 24-year-old novice beat a Trump-endorsed candidate in primary race for Mark Meadows’s seat in Congress

    [​IMG]

    A 24-year-old real estate investor and motivational speaker in western North Carolina has defeated the candidate endorsed by President Trump in a Republican runoff to vie for White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’s seat in Congress, marking another race this election cycle that has bucked the president’s influence.


    Madison Cawthorn, who turns 25 in August, was the surprise victor in North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District runoff against real estate agent Lynda Bennett with nearly two-thirds of the vote, according to the Associated Press. Bennett, 62, had endorsements not only from Trump but also from Meadows, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio.) Meadows vacated the seat in March to join the White House.

    This is why (competent) presidents don't get involved in primaries.

    Man, getting endorsements from Trump, Gym Jordan, and Ted Cruz should really automatically disqualify anyone from politics, if not from ever showing one's face in public again. Seriously, I would not broadcast those three endorsements together.

    24 year old "real estate investor and motivational speaker" named Madison Cawthorn.

    Doesn't sound like a douchebag at all. Nope.

    In an interview after his win Tuesday night, Cawthorn said he did not believe his victory should cast doubt on Trump's sway and vowed to support him in Congress.

    "I don’t think this was a referendum on how much influence the president has. I think the people of Western North Carolina are very discerning, and they just wanted to send someone who they thought would represent them best," he said, adding, "There will be no stronger supporter of the president than me."

    Let's get to the heart of the matter -- Cristina Bayardelle (she might be a little too jacked).

    24 year old real estate investors most likely are trust fund babies. You need money to invest.

    Ok so he is talking out of both sides of his mouth.

    This morning he was all about healing the divisiveness and bringing people together.

    You can't do that and be a strong Trump supporter.
