Cawthron just won the runoff and hes only 24 rn and hes probably one of the youngest members ever elected to congress in history assuming he wins the general which he should be favored to in a Trump +17 seat even after redistricting.

He will turn 25 in August.

Wait....he's only TWENTY FOUR? Isn't there some kind of age limit in play?

25 is the minimum age which he will be in August.

[FairBol]

I see that.  Article 1, Section 2, clause 1.

I'm going to guess that his only purpose will be to serve as the Republican answer to AOC, because after all he is a young person and Republicans have been trying to find someone to counteract AOC.

All but guaranteed to become the most annoying person in Congress

[You Don’t Mess With The Zohran]

Poor fella. Paraplegic and has a female name.

[Storr]

Beating Trump's pick? Impressive.

[Brittain33]

Beating Trump's pick? Impressive.

She was also the Meadows’ pick and they arranged his stepping down to set her up for the win.

[Badger]

Yeah, the guy's a generic Southern Republican, two words which tend to equate odious in my book. However, the guy's got a seriously endearing personal story, and was able to knock out a trumpy tea party Mark Meadows acolyte. So good on him.

Yeah, we're going to have to suffer through so many "The Republican AOC?" think pieces and magazine covers. Barf.

At least the "Conservative Squad" memes are dead in the water. Did Republicans even like them?

This is the first I'm hearing about that haha

He's a good looking guy, kind of reminds me of Aaron Schock with that famous men's health magazine cover, though he's not gay.

[Skunk]

Devastated to announce that Republicans will have the hottest congressperson next session.

[brucejoel99]

I'm glad this kid beat Lynda Bennett, whom Mark Meadows only endorsed because his wife told him to. She was out-of-touch & elitist. (Though he's still a Trumpist, of course, so I'd just as soon lop a limb off as vote for him in a general.)

If nothing else, him & AOC are proof that the young have roles to play in politics on both sides of the aisle, & I wish him well.

[Skunk]

I meant hot DEMOCRATS when I said this, damn it.

[Libertas Vel Mors]

Shoot.

I had been rooting for his opponent, not him.

[Dr. MB]

He looks like he should be on Big Brother and not running for f**king Congress.

[ltomlinson31]

When he was 24, he won a primary to become a member of Congress.
When I was 24, I joined Atlas...

[smoltchanov]

Beating Trump's pick? Impressive.

Yeah. Probably - a solid conservative substantially to the right of me, but - better, then alternative was.

...oh my.  😳

Aaron Schock wasn't gay...for a while.

And once again they underestimated the misogyny of Republican voters.

Look out, folx: Chadison will heal a broken America by uniting people who admire the physique of m*n, wherever they are on the political spectrum.
