U.S. MP on first term Madison Cowthorne on Tuesday lost in her primary race from the Republican Party to declare herself Senator Chuck Edwards, ousting Donald Trump supporter from Congress after his personal and political mistakes resulted in unhappy voters.

Cowthorne called on Edwards to cede Edwards to the primaries of Congress’ 11th constituency, Coutorne spokesman Luke Ball told the Associated Press.

The AP late Tuesday did not announce a race in which Edwards led Cawthorne and six other Republican candidates, with almost all votes counted. Cauterne became famous after winning the mountain region in 2020 at the age of 25.

Edwards is the owner of a fast food franchise that is now running in the November election against Democrat Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, who won Tuesday’s primaries from the Democratic Party with six candidates.

Cawthorne is a vocal supporter of Trump, whose series of unforced errors have forced top Republican leaders in North Carolina to turn against him. U.S. Sen. Tom Tillis, who backed Edwards, said Cowthorne was embarrassed for his constituents.

“Republicans elected Chuck Edwards tonight because he is the epitome of mountain values ​​who will fight for them every day in Congress with honor and honesty,” Tillis said in a press release.

Kawtarn faced negative publicity for speeding and using weapons, as well as for calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “bandit.” And his initial decision to run for re-election elsewhere – just to return to the 11th constituency – was not to the liking of many locals.

A few days after taking office in early 2021, Cowthorne spoke at the Stop Theft rally, questioning Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election that preceded the January 6 uprising in the Capitol.

Cawthorne soon became a major spokesman for Trump’s “America First” policy and conservatives in the cultural wars. Trump supported him.

In addition to remarks about the invitation to the orgy, Coutorne said he saw leaders of the movement to stop drug addiction who used cocaine. Republican leader in the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy publicly rebuked him for the remarks.

Since October, Kautorna has been stopped three times by police for quoting while driving, and since last year, including last month, twice caught with weapons at airport checkpoints. And videos released in recent weeks of the campaign showed Couthorne in sexual poses that he said were made a few years ago – should be funny and nothing more.

Cawthorne acknowledged quotes about speeding and gun use as flaws, but said the videos were part of a “drip campaign” of his political enemies, including some Republicans, to fill the area with negative stories.

Many Conservatives viewed Cowthorne as a rising star when, in 2020, he won the first round of the post vacated by Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff.

Cowthorne, who is in a wheelchair after partial paralysis as a result of a car accident as a teenager, turned 25 – the minimum age set by the Constitution to serve in the House of Representatives – during the 2020 campaign.

In a post-election post on his website on social media, Truth Social Trump asked primary voters to support him again: “Recently, he made some stupid mistakes that I don’t believe he will repeat … let’s give Madison a second chance!”

Speaking to reporters earlier Tuesday night at his campaign headquarters in Hendersonville, when the outcome is still uncertain, Coutorne said Trump’s support was strong.

“I have found that most people in politics, if it is politically unprofitable for them, they will turn away from you at some point,” he said. “But no matter what you face, when Donald Trump holds your back, he holds you back to the end.”

Couthorne’s biggest political mistake may have been last fall when he decided to run for another seat in the House of Representatives, which could lead to an easier application for re-election only to return to the 11th constituency if the district trial is over again. shifted order. Edwards and others accuse Couthorn of trying to walk away from his constituents for political gain.

The 61-year-old Edwards manages McDonald’s franchises in western North Carolina. He joined the State Senate in 2016 and climbed the ladder of internships in the House, taking the presidency in recent years and more serious measures related to small business, guns and immigration.

He championed legislation vetoed by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who demanded that all county sheriffs assist federal immigration and customs services by holding prisoners they believe are in the country illegally.
