According to a poll from a national Republican group, Rep. Madison Cawthorn's personal scandal and legal trouble may be starting to hurt him politically.
On April 9, 2022, former President Donald Trump will hold a rally in North Carolina. This photo was taken by Chris Seward.
In the 11th congressional district of North Carolina, Cawthorn had just 38% support among Republican primary voters.
The GOPAC poll of the race last month had Cawthorn with a 49% support rate.
According to the poll, Cawthorn has a large lead over his opponent, but support for him went up between March and April.
The congressman's favorability rating fell from a high of 64% in March to a low of 51% this week, according to a poll.
The GOP primary will be held on May 17.
Will Madison Cawthorn lose the primary on May 17th? The polling memo said that Cawthorn's campaign trajectory is terrible.
If no candidates get over 30% of the vote, there will be a GOP primary. The top candidate captures the GOP nomination if the 30% threshold is hit.
Over the past 10 days, Cawthorn has been accused of bringing a gun to an airport, being implicated in an alleged insider trading scheme, and being called a hypocrite by critics after leaked photographs showed the self-proclaimed traditional Christian drinking and wearing women's lingerie at a party. Before this stretch, Republican leaders were upset with Cawthorn. Kevin McCarthy told Cawthorn to turn himself around after he claimed D.C. political figures invited him to orgies and did cocaine in front of him. McCarthy said that Cawthorn admitted the allegations were exaggerated.
At a GOP event last summer, the congressman is a "handsome sucker" that has a good future, according to Donald Trump.
Cawthorn is the youngest member of Congress. Since 1964, the youngest person elected to Congress has been him.
