US House Freedom caucus chair faces tough Virginia primary after Trump endorses rival

Ex-president and McCarthy allies have joined to unseat Bob Good from the state's fifth congressional district

Representative Bob Good has accomplished the rare feat of unifying Donald Trump and allies of the former House speaker Kevin McCarthy, who are collectively trying to unseat the chair of the hard-right Freedom caucus.

Good heads into his Tuesday primary in Virginia's fifth congressional district facing a challenge from the Republican state senator John McGuire, who has received a crucial endorsement from Trump. Good had already drawn the ire of fellow House Republicans for voting to oust McCarthy as speaker last year, but the incumbent's job appears to be in much more serious jeopardy after Trump's endorsement.
