Donald Trump brought along Madison Cawthorn in his motorcade to the airport following remarks at the GOP convention in North Carolina on Saturday evening where he lauded the congressman for his good looks and bright future.
'All I can say is big things are coming,' Cawthorn told DailyMail.com when asked what was discussed during the drive.
'I am confident that there will be a new American Renaissance in politics very, very soon. Not just speaking about the 2022 election, but elections even eight to 10 years away.'
Notably, Cawthorn will be 35 in 10 years – the age an American must be to earn a spot on the ticket for either vice president or president.
