Washington Madison Cawthorn scored a stunning political upset on Tuesday when CNN projected he would win the North Carolina Republican congressional primary to fill the seat vacated by President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows.
The 24-year-old political newcomer, a staunch conservative who supports Trump, handily defeated his opponent Lynda Bennett with 65.82% of the vote, compared to Bennett's 34.18%. Cawthorn's win was unexpected, with Bennett having the backing of Trump and Meadows and other high-profile endorsements from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. Cawthorn, who was partially paralyzed in a 2014 car accident, is an owner of a real estate investment company and a motivational speaker.
