Rep. Madison Cawthorn lost the Republican primary for his House seat in North Carolina on Tuesday
Rep. Madison Cawthorn lost the Republican primary for his House seat in North Carolina on Tuesday — halting the young, pro-Trump congressman’s rise after a series of scandals plagued his short tenure in Washington.

Cawthorn’s campaign said he conceded the race to state Sen. Chuck Edwards, who rose to the top of a packed Republican primary and secured endorsements from North Carolina’s most powerful Republicans, including Sen. Thom Tillis. A super PAC that had previously backed Tillis ran ads targeting Cawthorn’s “lies” and quoted a newspaper columnist calling him an “attention-seeking embarrassment.”

Cawthorn campaigned aggressively, blaming his woes on “RINOs” and the mainstream media. But voters were unwilling to give him a second chance following Cawthorn’s political stumbles, from calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug” to alleging he’d been invited to orgies by Washington lawmakers. His downfall comes even after former President Donald Trump offered support for the embattled Republican.

Despite his troubles, Cawthorn was seen as the favorite going into Tuesday’s primaries in the state’s 11th District, aided by Trump’s backing and a big fundraising operation — though his campaign has spent its money at least as fast as he’s raised it.

Now who did the BRD North Carolinians vote for?
