SUMMARY
The Virginia GOP primary race between House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good and state Sen. John McGuire is too close to call, with a recount expected in the 5th Congressional District contest. McGuire, backed by Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy, leads by 321 votes with 31,418 votes, compared to Good's 31,097. Despite the narrow margin, McGuire expressed confidence in his victory. Good emphasized the need for transparency and the counting of provisional and mail-in ballots. The race, influenced by Trump's and McCarthy's endorsements, may take weeks to resolve and determine the candidate against Democrat Gloria Witt in November.
