Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good Loses Primary, But Plans To Demand Recount

Virginia election officials on Tuesday declared Rep. Bob Good , chairman of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus , the loser in his close primary against state Sen. John McGuire.

“We intend to call for recounts,” Good told HuffPost last week, before the Virginia State Board of Elections had certified McGuire as the winner. “It’s close enough to justify that and we just want to make sure that every legal and human vote is counted, and ultimately, the result reflects the intent of the qualified voters who participated.

Good alienated both Trump and McCarthy over the past year or so — first, when he endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over Trump in the Republican presidential primary last May, and then when he and several other GOP lawmakers dethroned McCarthy in October. “Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA!” Trump wrote on Truth Social last month. “He turned his back on our incredible Movement, and was constantly attacking and fighting me until recently, when he gave a warm and ‘loving’ Endorsement - But really, it was too late! The damage had been done.”
