Virginia Primary Race in 5th Congressional District Remains Too Close to Call
News summary

The Republican primary race in Virginia's 5th Congressional District between House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good and state Sen. John McGuire remains too close to call. McGuire holds a slight lead with 50.3% of the vote to Good's 49.7%, but the margin is narrow enough to potentially trigger a recount under Virginia law. Former President Donald Trump endorsed McGuire, significantly boosting his campaign, while former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy also supported McGuire as retribution against Good. Good, who endorsed Ron DeSantis for the GOP presidential nomination, has criticized the heavy spending on attack ads against him. Despite the close race, McGuire has prematurely declared victory, while Good has thanked his supporters. The final outcome hinges on the remaining mail-in and provisional ballots yet to be counted.
