Snip...

...what appears to rankle so many North Carolina Republicans the most, what is causing "his act to wear thin," party operatives in the state say, are two problems in particular: Cawthorn's initial move to switch districts, later reversed, and his attempt to decide the political fate of the rest of the state's GOP delegation by fancying himself kingmaker in the 11 House seats drawn to elect Republicans in an earlier version of redistricting.

Snip...

...Cawthorn had created a document* based on that initial map titled "Cawthorn's Plan for North Carolina."

*Rep. Madison Cawthorn has a plan for NC's congressional delegation -- and it might break the law

In it, the congressman laid out which districts he wanted incumbent Republicans to run. In open seats, he endorsed. For instance, Cawthorn picked former Rep. Mark Walker for the proposed 7th District even though he is running for Senate. This public presumptuousness infuriated many North Carolina Republicans, including and especially the prominent and more veteran members of the state's GOP delegation.

Among them are ninth-term Rep. Virginia Foxx, the top Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee; fifth-term Rep. Richard Hudson, the House Republican Conference secretary, an elected leadership position; and ninth-term Rep. Patrick McHenry, the top Republican on the House Financial Services Committee and former chief deputy majority whip.

"Cawthorn is not well regarded with Republicans statewide in North Carolina," an experienced GOP strategist in the state said. "Many of us think he is an embarrassment to our party and state."
