Madison Cawthorn, was handed a devastating loss. In a Wednesday morning Truth Social post, the former president lauded Pennsylvania Republican primary candidates Dr. Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano, while also congratulating North Carolina's Rep. Ted Budd for winning his Senate primary race. However, no word on the 26-year-old firebrand Republican who Trump had endorsed twice, including imploring voters on Monday to give Cawthorn a 'second chance' despite the litany of scandals he's faced in recent weeks. 'A big night for Trump Endorsed candidates last night. Dr Oz looks to have own despite the fact that my endorsement was put out after many mail-in ballots had already been sent,' Trump wrote on his social media platform. 'It's called a come from behind victory. Looks to be, over last few week(sp), about 85 and 3.' Trump was likely referencing three candidates who failed to clinch a win despite his backing - which would include Cawthorn. 'Big victory for Ted Budd, Doug Mastriano, all of Arkansas, etc. Big races next week!' the ex-president concluded.
