Whatever Happened To This Guy?

 

Former NC-11 Congressman Madison Cawthorn now lives in Florida. He achieved his personal best in defying the law on September 25 when he got himself arrested for failure to show up in court to face 2024 charges of driving with a suspended or revoked license.

Just incidentally, he had already announced that he will be running for the open US House seat in Florida being vacated by Byron Donalds, who's running for governor. It's a safe Republican district (natch!) but already has a crowded Republican primary field including candidates with no arrest record.

And Reese Gorman just reported in The Assembly that Cawthorn has become persona non grata even in the Trump White House:

Once a MAGA poster child, Cawthorn is attempting a political comeback, but he shouldn’t expect any help from those in President Donald Trump’s orbit.

“No way,” one source close to Trump told NOTUS when asked whether Cawthorn would get the backing of the president and his circle.

Well, guess there's not always an Act 2 in politics.
