Election Day Thread - Nov. 3, 2020

[SunnySide]

North Carolina Republican Congressman-elect Madison Cawthorn told "Fox & Friends" he looks forward to building a "bolder" GOP when he arrives in Washington, D.C., as the youngest member of Congress since the 1700s after winning the seat left vacant by Mark Meadows.

The 25-year-old conservative candidate -- who first catapulted to GOP stardom after speaking at the Republican National Convention in August, getting up from his wheelchair at one point on stage -- defeated incumbent U.S. Rep. Moe Davis, D-N.C., to capture the 11th Congressional District seat, according to The Associated Press, which first called the election results.

Cawthorn, who nearly died in a tragic automobile accident that left him partially paralyzed and in a wheelchair, wants to lead on health care and heal the partisan divide during his time in office.

After Cawthorn's victory, he tweeted, "Cry more, lib," before taking a swipe at progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other far-left Democrats.

interesting attempt at healing the partisan divide.

the House is weird. Some random unqualified person like AOC or this guy can get elected in a highly partisan district (no real accomplishment) .. then immediately get national talking time to spew their hyper partisan rhetoric that then gets treated as if these no names speak for an entire party.

frustrating.

and a full fledged Q Anon is in the House now.

sad
