The Republican primary in Virginia’s 5th. Congressional District remains too close to call after Rep. Bob Good, the incumbent, faces a challenge from Trump-backed state Sen. John McGuire.
The Republican primary race in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District between House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good and state Sen. John McGuire was too close to call on Tuesday night.
As of 11 p.m., 92% of the vote was called – with McGuire being up by just 300 votes.
The race will now move to a recount for the GOP primary in the state’s reliably red 5th Congressional District, in the southern part of the commonwealth.
In a statement on X, Good thanked supporters for their volunteer efforts and slammed the “D.C. Swamp.”
“The entire DC Swamp was aligned against us with over $10 million in attack ads, but with your help we were able to make this race too close to call”, Good wrote, in part.
“No matter the outcome, you’ve shown the DC Swamp that you won’t back down from standing for what’s right.
