madison cawthorn, he lost the e reelection primary. what did chuck edwards tell you getting ready to head into the general now? well, hallie, he seemedless surprised by last night s result than others and he told me he had a very friendly concession call with congressman cawthorn, that cawthorn pledged to help him unite the party around his candidacy and he seems confident republicans in this area will rally behind them, behind him and they re aligned on issues from abortion to inflation, and what s happening with the economy right now. and i pressed him a little bit on this because i spent all day talking to cawthorn supporters who in some cases were kind of still making up their minds. they re a bit disappointed with some of his recent behavior but ultimately going to back him. they told me they felt the republicans that turned on congressman cawthorn were rhinos, republicans in name only. they would have trouble trusting
