Mark Meadows is not seeking re-election

His district in NC was redrawn per judicial order.

Democrat Col. Morris Davis is running to replace him.

never was a fighter. No military service and then says “no mas!” after his
@NCGOP
rigged district gets less rigged and I jump into the ring ready to kick his ass. Maybe he’ll go home to France or Florida.

Trump's got to regain the narrative. He can't let impeachment be the lead story at the holiday dinner table. Hard to imagine he's got anything on his "piss off libs" to-do list that will compete with impeachment but a man's got to try.

Putting Meadows in the office next to the Oval has got to be high on the list and it's the kind of thing that would get Meadows to jump ship. IIRC, there was rumor that he was on the short list in the past.

little Mick? He is such a little wimpy marshmallow. Those granny glasses are laughable, too. After all the ass kissing, wearing that flag themed golf shirt and everything. Poor pathetic Mick. Well, he did say that he would not want his son to use tRump as a role model. Of course, THAT was before he got that lucrative job in the WH and used tRump as his own role model!

in NC 11!!! I just woke up to such wonderful news and I want to make one last call to his office this morning to say something like:

Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Go back to Florida with Donald Trump!
(I'm sure I'll think of more after another cup of coffee!)

"It's time NC#11 had a congressman who believes healthcare is a right, that women have a right to choose, that climate change is real, and that nobody is above the law. "

as possible. But since North Carolina de-gerrymandered his district he didn't stand much of a chance against Col. Davis anyway.

Prior to December 2018, Meadows claimed to have received a Bachelor of Arts degree.[3] When questions about his credentials arose during media speculation that he was under consideration to serve as White House Chief of Staff, Meadows amended his official House biography and other sources to indicate that his degree was an associate, not a bachelor's.[3]
