Conservative U.S. Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., is urging constituents in the 5th District to remain patient as the final ballot count from Tuesday's primary will determine whether he can hold off a challenger endorsed by former president Donald Trump. Good, who leads the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, currently trails state Sen. John McGuire by a little over 300 votes as election officials finalize their counts and await the arrival of mail-in ballots.
The Associated Press has refrained from declaring a winner in the race between Good and McGuire. If Good is unsuccessful, he would become the first House incumbent to lose a primary challenge this year, with the exception of a race involving two incumbents due to redistricting.
