The youngest member of the US House of Representatives just lost his seat in Congress.
Rep Madison Cawthorn was defeated in Tuesday’s Republican primary by Chuck Edwards, a member of the North Carolina state senate, in a surprising loss during a busy night of primary elections. Mr Cawthorn conceded that he lost the race in a call to Chuck Edwards, according to his campaign. The Associated Press called the race shortly after 11pm.
The result is a devastating blow to a prominent Republican who had the backing of Donald Trump as well as many grassroots figures in the GOP, and a sign that Mr Trump’s ability to pick a winning candidate is not absolute.

"Freshman Rep. Madison Cawthorn's loss in North Carolina to his primary challenger, Chuck Edwards, has busted the myth surrounding the power of former President Donald Trump's political endorsements.
Trump threw the embattled congressman a lifeline ahead of his Tuesday primary, posting on Truth Social — Trump's social media platform — an appeal for voters to "give Madison a second chance." In his post, Trump wrote that Cawthorn had recently "made some foolish mistakes, which I don't believe he'll make again."
However, Trump's backing did little to push Cawthorn over the line to beat Edwards, a candidate bolstered by a Republican-linked super PAC and endorsed by a senator from Cawthorn's home state, Thom Tillis."...
