Yeah baby! A Trump endorsement too!
Voters booted Rep. Madison Cawthorn out of office in the Republican primary for North Carolina's 11th District.
State Sen. Chuck Edwards, who was endorsed by GOP Sen. Thom Tillis and several Republican leaders in North Carolina, defeated Cawthorn outright, denying the 26-year-old congressman a second term in office.
Edwards was confident about his chances of winning the primary elections. "We've got a winning team," he previously told Insider. "We have incredible support with our endorsements, our fundraising, our boots on the ground, the feedback that I am getting from voters; I am feeling great."
Cawthorn spent his campaign cash at a fast clip and has been largely off the air leading up to the primaries. The high-profile freshman will need more than 30 percent of the vote in the primary elections in order to avoid going to a runoff election in July.
At 26, Cawthorn is the youngest member of Congress, but he's become embroiled in multiple controversies.
These include a political action committee filing an ethics complaint against him, and police citing him for bringing a loaded gun into a North Carolina airport for the second time. Members of his own party began to publicly criticize Cawthorn after he claimed on a podcast in March that he witnessed drug use in Washington, DC, and was invited to an "orgy" by lawmakers. Cawthorn later walked back these remarks saying he exaggerated.
