In June, at the North Carolina Republican Party convention Donald Trump endorsed Ted Budd, a far-right member of Congress for North Carolina's open U.S. Senate seat.

Ted Budd, a Freedom Caucus member, is a far-right extremist who voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results while proudly promoting Trump's election fraud conspiracy theories.

Budd even voted against critical pandemic relief funds for North Carolinians in need, then turned around and took out $10 million PPP loan for himself.
