Madison Cawthorn, 24, recently landed in politics, beat Lynda Bennet, the president-backed candidate, Donald Trump, in the Republican runoff in a congressional district in North Carolina. Bennet also had the support of Trump's current chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who until this year held the post in Congress for which Cawthorn is now a favorite. He will face Democrat Moe Davis in the November elections.

Cawthorn, who was partially paralyzed in a car accident in 2014, defines himself on his website as a constitutional conservative "who is" committed to upholding the values ​​of faith, family, and freedom that have made America great. " Define religious freedom and border security and are against abortion You own a real estate agency and are known for your speaking skills.

Cawthorn will turn 25 in August, the legal minimum age to enter the House of Representatives. If elected in November, he would become the youngest member of Congress, a title currently held by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who is 30 years old.

"Tonight, voters in District 11 of North Carolina demonstrated that they are ready for a new generation of leadership in Washington. They transformed our message of hope, opportunity and freedom into a movement," Cawthorn said in a statement Tuesday night. .

Donald Trump had shown his support for Lynda Bennet, defeated against Cawthorn, earlier this month on Twitter.

"Please let this serve to fully support a great fighter and ally in North Carolina, @LyndaBennettNC. She is strong on Crime, Borders, Armed Forces, our Great Veterinarians and 2A," Trump wrote June 4. "She will be a great help to me. We need Lynda Bennett! # NC11," she also wrote.

Despite having won the candidate proposed by Trump, Cawthorn wanted to make clear his support for the president. " I want to clarify something: I support our great president ," Cawthorn said in a victory statement posted on Facebook. "I don't think this election was a referendum on the influence of the president. The people of western North Carolina are wise and demanding. They looked at both candidates and simply made the decision that they believed was best for our district."
