A 24-year-old real estate developer who says he supports President Donald Trump emerged victorious from the Republican primary for a North Carolina U.S. House seat against another candidate who won an endorsement from the GOP president.

Madison Cawthorn, who describes himself as a constitutional conservative, says on his campaign website that he wants to secure America’s borders, protect religious freedom, and oppose socialized medicine. He also says he’s pro-Trump, pro-life, and pro-Second Amendment.
