Virginia Certifies Bob Good's Primary Loss, Recount Pending

State Sen. John McGuire declared winner by narrow margin; Good plans to contest results

  • McGuire leads Good by 374 votes, a 0.6% margin in the 5th Congressional District primary.
  • Good has 10 days to request a recount, which he must fund due to the margin being over 0.5%.
  • The race has highlighted internal GOP conflicts, including Trump's influence and McCarthy's ousting.
  • Good's campaign raised concerns over alleged election irregularities, including fire alarms at polling sites.
  • If the recount confirms McGuire's win, Good would be the first Freedom Caucus chairman to lose a primary.
