Political newcomer Madison Cawthorn breezed past President Donald Trump’s pick for Mark Meadows seat in Congress in a two-person GOP runoff election.
Political newcomer Madison Cawthorn breezed past President Donald Trump’s pick for Mark Meadows' seat in Congress in a two-person GOP runoff election on Tuesday.
“Please let this serve as my Complete and Total Endorsement of a great fighter and ally in North Carolina,” Trump's June 4 message said, using Bennett's Twitter handle. “She is strong on Crime, Borders, Military, our Great Vets & 2A. She will be a great help to me in DC.”The real estate investor and motivational speaker will now face off against Democratic candidate and retired U.S Air Force colonel Moe Davis in a district spanning 18 Western North Carolina counties.
Cawthorn won all but one of the counties that were fully reported as of 10 p.m. Bennett won in Rutherford County, taking nearly 65% of the vote. Cawthorn won the other counties by comfortable margins, except in Clay and Swain, where he won by three and five votes, respectively. Vote totals are not official until the canvass next week.
Homeschooled in Hendersonville, he planned to head to the U.S. Naval Academy before the accident left him partially paralyzed and in a wheelchair. To Cawthorn, the experience allows him to connect naturally with voters, he told the Asheville Citizen Times, which is part of the USA TODAY Network, back in January.
