Bob Good is fighting a two-front battle to hold his seat in Virginia's 5th Congressional District. And that doesn’t even count his opponent in the June 18 GOP primary, state Sen. John McGuire. Good chairs the House Freedom Caucus and played a key role in the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Virginia Sen. John McGuire takes part at a campaign event in Charlottesville, Va., June 5, 2024. Bob Good is fighting a two-front battle to hold his seat in Virginia ’s 5th Congressional District and with it his role as leader of the conservative House Freedom Caucus — and that doesn’t even count McGuire, his opponent in the Tuesday, June 18, GOP primary election. FILE - The chairman of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., is seen at Trump Tower, May 16, 2024.
Good is facing payback for his efforts in McCarthy’s ouster. The Republican political action committee Defending Main Street, which almost always spends money to support GOP incumbents, launched a $450,000 ad campaign against Good. He said Good has “put himself on an island,” alienating mainstream Republicans by ousting McCarthy. And he lost the Trump voters because, “I guess he betrayed Trump, which is really easy to do.”
Any efforts by McGuire and Greene to speak were drowned out by protestors chanting “Go Home!” and waving signs that said “No hate in our state.”
