News summary

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) faces a critical recount in Virginia's 5th Congressional District after losing the primary to state Sen. John McGuire by just 374 votes. The recount, which is expected to begin on August 1, will determine if Good becomes the first House Republican incumbent to lose a primary challenge this election cycle. Good is responsible for funding the recount, estimated at nearly $150,000, and has sought permission from donors to redirect contributions meant for the upcoming general election towards this effort. Election officials are prepared for the recount process, which involves over 7,500 ballots, and will confirm the results without further challenges if McGuire's victory is upheld. The outcome is significant not only for Good's political career but also for the House Freedom Caucus, which he chairs. McGuire remains confident while Good asserts that errors may be revealed during the recount process.
