Since taking office in 2023, Edwards has lost nearly all his staff, keeping only two throughout his tenure. Before Congress, he owned McDonald’s franchises and served in the North Carolina Senate, traits his supporters tout as proof of his professionalism. But recent reports allege he traveled with a younger staffer to Las Vegas and gifted her luxury items, fueling the ethics probe. The fallout has also shifted his district’s political outlook, turning a once-safe Republican seat into a tighter race. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
