Bob Good could become the first Freedom Caucus chair to lose his seat, putting the ultra-conservative group in uncharted territory.
Rep. Bob Good aimed to overhaul the House Freedom Caucus, making it into a more assertive body within the Republican Conference. But that could come to a roaring halt Tuesday if he formally loses his Virginia primary. Instead, discussions will shift to whether he can stay atop the group until the end of the year, when he would leave Congress — and if not, who could replace him.
Byron Donalds , asked if Good’s loss would impact his role as chair, stopped short of ruling out the possibility, instead noting the Virginia vote count has to first be finalized before the group can have follow-up discussions. 'First of all you've got to figure out his race. … You can't really talk about that until you figure out ,” Donalds said. Donalds is a name some have floated as a potential replacement.
