North Carolina state Sen. Chuck Edwards defeated Rep. Madison Cawthorn to win the Republican nomination for the state's 11th congressional district on Tuesday, according to a Cawthorn campaign spokesperson who said the congressman called Edwards and conceded the race.
Why it matters: Cawthorn's loss comes after an avalanche of scandals that have plagued the 26-year-old incumbent, which led GOP leaders across the country to doubt his ability to serve in Congress.
(OH no! Who will late night comedians be able to make jokes about now? LOL)
Not to worry, the comedians have more material now than they had the last 60 years or more....
The Republican clown car will always provide comedy fodder. That is now the sad fact of our lives and half of our government.
