Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) went down in the face of a primary challenge on Tuesday night, buckling under an onslaught of opponents and his own party’s concerted effort to purge the troublesome lawmaker from its ranks.
Why did he concede? He is a MAGA Republican, he is supposed to declare election fraud and organize his efforts to capture the election with threats of violence.
A shit ton of oppo research was created by him and it seemed to do the trick. These things do not passively voice “drop” having been unwittingly created in the first instance.
Incidentally, I demand that the Kremlin release my videos. I want to see that shit. It’s pretty good!
I assume this means that in NC the winner DOESN’T have to get “50%+1”?
…Edwards led with 33.5 percent of the vote to Cawthorn’s 31.7 percent.
(I ask because, what I’m used to is if no one gets a majority in a primary election w/ more than 2 candidates, the top two vote-getters going to a primary run-off, the winner of which then goes to the general election. )
It remains to be seen how Cawthorn will choose to spend his lame-duck months in the House.
I don’t see why anything should change. It’s not as if he spent much time there, and he sure wasn’t doing constituent services (at least, not the kind anyone wanted).
