Rep. Derrick Van Orden has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Rep. Bob Good, a prominent figure in the House Freedom Caucus. Good, who was among the Republicans who voted to remove Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, has been at the center of internal GOP conflicts that have hindered the party's agenda and caused division within the conference.
Van Orden has aligned himself with a group of House Republicans aiming to unseat Good in the upcoming primary election by supporting his opponent, John McGuire. This move, considered a breach of protocol, highlights the deep-seated animosity within the House GOP.
