House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good was adamant Wednesday that he could still eke out a win in his bruising Virginia primary contest against state Sen. John McGuire, despite trailing by more than 300 votes.

After the bulk of the ballots were tallied Tuesday night, McGuire — who scored the coveted endorsement of former President Donald Trump last month — declared victory, telling supporters: “I’m your Republican nominee.”

The political future of House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good is coming down to the final votes.

After a bitter primary battle with rival John McGuire in south-central Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, the vote count showed an exceedingly tight result Tuesday night, far closer than many expected. With each update to the results, Good and McGuire traded leads that at times were as low as single digits.

Republicans who campaigned against House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (R-Va.) in his primary against state Sen. John McGuire are seeing the race as a victory, even as it remains too close to call.

With bitter anger about Good’s vote to yank away former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) gavel in large part fueling the opposition to him, those who worked against Good say the race should serve as a warning against the kind of tactics, style and demeanor that contributed to discord in the House.
