(1,968 posts)Chuck Edwards was endorsed by senator Tillis, who also spent a lot of money to help defeat cawthorn. He's a local politician, anti immigration, and is a good ole boy who will go along with the GOPQ agenda, not make waves. But he's not a rabid supporter of tfg, so that's something.
Haven't seen if there's a democratic winner yet, but whoever wins will be at a disadvantage in this +9 red zone. Elections generally run 60/40 their favor. But there's always hope, and a chance we can elect a Democrat to Congress. Heath Shuler, a yellow dog democrat, was our rep for 6 years before we were gerrymandered. Now that we're "un-gerrymandered" we have a better chance, but
Edwards will be hard to beat so we'll have to work hard.
I'm so glad cawthorn lost. I expect him to be more of an ass as he completes his term in Congress. Perhaps he'll resign early and leave us without a congressperson, as Meadows did.
Did I mention I live in his district, but don't call him my representative.
