GOP contest between Bob Good and John McGuire highlights primary slate in Virginia
One of America’s most conservative congressmen is facing a serious primary challenge in Virginia after his opponent was endorsed by former President Donald Trump
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — One of America's most conservative congressmen is facing a serious primary challenge after his opponent was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, while voters in two other districts are nominating candidates to fill two open seats in Virginia's primary election Tuesday.
Rep. Bob Good, who chairs the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, is seeking a third term representing Virginia's 5th Congressional District, but state Sen. John McGuire has mounted a strong challenge that highlights frictions in the party.
On the Democratic side, voters are looking to nominate candidates who can hold open seats being vacated by popular incumbents Abigail Spanberger and Jennifer Wexton.
Statewide, voters are selecting a Republican nominee to the U.S. Senate to take on Democrat Tim Kaine.
