House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good (R-VA) has made powerful enemies within his party and will have to reckon with them on Tuesday night.
The House Freedom Caucus chairman has received the backing of several of his Republican colleagues, but his opponent, Republican state Sen. John McGuire, has received the support of some GOP power players, including former PresidentGov. Ron DeSantis , a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, over the former president.
“Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA. 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!” Trump said in his Truth Social post endorsing McGuire.
Rep. Bob Good , the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, talks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington on Friday, Jan. 12, 2024. McCarthy allies have made Good’s race a part of the former House speaker’s revenge tour after he was ousted from the speakership in October 2023. Good was one of theRepublicans who joined all Democrats to remove McCarthy, making him the first and only speaker to be successfully ousted via a motion to vacate.
Good opposed McCarthy’s speakership bid in January 2023 and remained one of his chief critics until he was one of the key votes to remove him nine months later. McCarthy has attempted to oust other House Republicans who voted to remove him, but his endorsement of Rep. Nancy Mace’s opponent in last week’s primary for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District failed to move the needle.
“This is important to me because I’ve served with Bob Good for several years now, and I have found him to be untrustworthy, and I have found him to be a liar,” Greene
