The Republican primary race in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District between House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good and state Sen. John McGuire was too close to call on Tuesday night. Good highlighted his support for the former president as he ran for re-election. McGuire held a narrow advantage late Tuesday night, but with the slight margin, the race could head to a recount. Good’s reelection bid became closely watched after Trump endorsed McGuire. Good was accused of being a “backstabber” and “MAGA traitor” by Trump. If Good loses, it would bolster Trump’s endorsement record in the 2024 cycle. The primary race between Good and McGuire could result in a recount if neither candidate widens the margin. Democratic candidate Gloria Witt won the Democratic primary for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District. House Republicans are eyeing Spanberger’s open seat as a pickup opportunity. Democratic voters in Georgia have chosen their candidate to face Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Polls in Virginia and Georgia have closed as voters decided on congressional primary races. Virginia state Rep. Dan Helmer is the front-runner in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District Democratic primary. Trump is backing Navy veteran Hung Cao in the Republican primary against Sen. Tim Kaine. The challenge has become one of the most contentious GOP primaries of the 2024 cycle.
