All eyes Tuesday are on Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, where House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good could become the second incumbent ousted in a primary this cycle if former President Donald Trump has his way.
“If he’s reelected, Bob Good will stab Virginia in the back, sort of like he did with me,” Mr. Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, said Monday evening on a 12-minute tele-rally for Mr. Good’s primary opponent, state Sen. John McGuire.
Mr. Trump holds a grudge against Mr. Good for endorsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the presidential primary and only endorsing Mr. Trump after the governor dropped out — which the former president dismissed Monday as “not good enough.”
