New youngest member of congress likely coming from NC

[2016]

Great News, it’s great to know that we have a conservative and not a socialist holding the title of youngest representative

This guy is going to give us NIGHTMARES!
He should rescind his Victory!

[Libertas Vel Mors]

The new PPP poll of NC shows Dems stronger than usual in the Asheville media market (mostly this seat). Entirely possible he may not be a shoo-in if the Dem is competent.

The general is definitely no shoe-in, especially now with all of Buncombe County, where Asheville is located, in the district after the NC Supreme Court ordered redistricting.

The old district was Trump 62% Clinton 33% in 2016, while the 2020 version of NC-11 would have been Trump 56.1% Clinton 39.2% in 2016.

Lmao -- Democrats hold just 1 district 55% Trump and above, but this is somehow not a shoe in?

It's not.

He certainly helps dispute the notion that all young Republicans are dweebs, which applies to roughly 80% of those creatures in real life and ~98% on this blog.

I always picture Southern young Republicans as Bros with a drawl. This guy just establishes that to the nth degree

Yes, that's kept me up many nights as well!

The moreover that in 2020 and 2024, Generation Z voters will increasingly become eligible to vote, which will likely give an advantage for Republicans as Generation Z tends to be more conservative than Millennials.

[Annihilation]

This guy supports Qanon. Unfit for office.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

I don’t like him because he is better looking than me

[Landslide Lyndon]

Beating Trump's pick? Impressive.

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

And once again they underestimated the misogyny of Republican voters.

Yes it's clearly just misogyny and not plenty of other local factors such as madison having a much better campaign.

Yeah, just a coincidence that she is perhaps the only Trump-endorsed candidate to lose a primary this cycle.

Denver Riggleman and Thomas Massie's opponent agree.

FTR, Trump never endorsed Massie's opponent.

That is NOT true. It's hilarious that conservatives think that Gen Z will be a conservative generation.

Keep thinking that though.

[Horus]

I don't understand why this thread is three pages (the guy is just your typical Tanner), but compared to Lynda Bennett he was the preferable choice. Bennett was backed by Trump and Meadows while Madison was backed by a Rand Paul group.

[DINGO Joe]

Amusingly, since WNC is popular with retirees, this is one of the oldest congressional districts in the country.

[🥥🌴]

Good news. The youth deserves more representation.

[Calthrina950]

Good news. The youth deserves more representation.

Agreed. It also appears that Trump has no hard feelings about Cawthorn's victory, since he called him and congratulated him. It makes little difference as to whether Cawthorn or Bennett won, on a policy front, as both are guaranteed to be conservative Republicans and staunch party-line votes. On another note, it astonishes me that this man is less than three years older than I am. It really does put things in perspective.

And Blue avatars on here think Nikki Haley can win the 2024 primary.

Oh no, not the Gen z is conservative myth, again. Being less liberal than Milennials does not make Gen Z conservative, just like NJ being right of NY, does not make it Safe R. Gen Z is still a heavily Democratic voting bloc.

Yeah the delusion in thinking that a majority-minority generation is gonna vote for the GOP.

Also, none of this data reflect the radicalization of the past two years, the radicalization they will be subjected to in college, etc.

[Vern]

And Blue avatars on here think Nikki Haley can win the 2024 primary.

From what I know, He ran a a very good campaign for the runoff while The other candidate didn’t really take it serious.

68% of 18-24 year olds voted for Democrats in the 2018 midterms. That's compared to 66% of 25-29 YOs, and 59% of 30-39.

https://www.cnn.com/election/2018/exit-polls

I don't see why the most ethnically diverse, secular, and queer generation in history should be more conservative than millennials.

Not to mention the most educated generation in history, right when the Republicans are doubling down on relying on non-college-educated whites to carry them.

[Jumped off the American Sinking Ship]

also the age to get into congress needs to be lower

If you can vote you can hold office.

If you can vote you should be able to drink alcohol, but that's too much to ask for.

If anything Zoomers seem more liberal culturally than Millenials. I cannot see how they are going to be a SUPER CONSERVATIVE generation.

AOC: I am the youngest and most attractive member of Congress.

This guy: hold my beer
