President Trump's political muscle seems as strong as ever; he just flexed it a lot, and it looks like he just took down popular Republican congressman Bob Good from Virginia. Many on our side were perplexed and even upset that Trump refused to endorse Good and instead supported his main rival. They believed the move stemmed from Good's endorsement of DeSantis and his delayed endorsement of President Trump.
The starters have had a good performance so far this cycle. That could change this week.
Two House Republicans from opposite ends of the ideological spectrum face top challenges Tuesday: One, Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, is a longtime establishment figure, while Rep. another, Virginia Rep. Bob Good, leads the faction agitating the party. And with millions of dollars poured into ouster efforts, anyone could become the first member of Congress this year to be ousted by an outside challenger.
Good's run has drawn more national attention and attracted about $15 million in spending. It's stop No. 2 on former President Kevin McCarthy's revenge tour, which stumbled last week when his pickpocket operation failed to take down Rep. Nancy Mace (RS.C.). Both she and Good were among the eight Republicans who voted to strip McCarthy of his gavel, and she has been working to boost her primary opponents.
Good eventually endorsed Trump, and it wasn't enough. Trump's response to Truth Social was “it's too late,” once again, leaving people shocked and some quite dismayed.
Republican voters in Virginia's 5th Congressional District still don't know whether House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good was on his way to a fifth term in office or whether challenger state Sen. John McGuire a former Navy SEAL, won Tuesday's Republican primary, a race. which highlighted a split within the Trump faction of the GOP.
While some still say the race is too close to call, others are already celebrating Good's defeat.
John McGuire WINS!
I was the first member of Congress to support @JohnMcGuire4VA because of his conservative record, his loyalty to President Trump, and his service to our country.
This victory shows how toxic Bob Good has been to the Republican Party, the America First movement and perhaps most critical to President Trump's re-election.
It's time for the Republican Party to unite, stop promoting self-serving politicians, and DEFEAT the Democrats in November!
Congratulations to Trump and MTG Endorsed John McGuire, the next Congressman from Virginia's 5th District!!!
John McGuire WINS!

Whoever is ultimately declared the winner, and most believe it will be McGuire, the vote count is currently delayed due to “Juneteenth.” CBS news keep on:
With 96% of the vote counted, McGuire leads with 31,402 votes, compared to Good's 31,057, a slim margin of 0.4%, just 345 votes. All state offices in Virginia are closed Wednesday in observance of the Juneteenth holiday, so the remaining votes will be counted on Thursday.
The winner of the Republican primary is almost certain to win the general election in the Southside Virginia district. Nonpartisan election tracker Cook Political Report calls the race “solid Republican.”
Good lost the support of two Republicans aligned with Kevin McCarthy following his vote to oust McCarthy as speaker and former President Donald Trump, after he endorsed the former president's primary opponent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Good endorsed Trump after DeSantis dropped out, but not soon enough for Trump, who posted on Truth Social, “It was too late,” and then endorsed his primary challenger.
As we mentioned earlier, many conservatives were baffled by President Trump's refusal to endorse Good, even after Good returned his support to Trump when DeSantis dropped out. A video posted by Marjorie Taylor Greene has provided the likely answer everyone was looking for. He revealed that Good fully supported the regime's law against President Trump and even suggested that Trump was carrying “baggage.” In Trump's eyes, it was a treasonous move that simply could not be forgiven, especially given what Trump and so many others are going through right now, thanks to this weaponized judicial system.
MTG just posted this video of Bob Good. Now the endorsement makes sense. Remember, we often don't know half the truth, as this video proves. pic.twitter.com/7eUxd20gHg

Of course, the alternative, John McGuire, also had some pretty clear problems. This is from a post by McGuire, who praised Kamala Harris and our great country after the disastrous 2020 mock election; it's a completely tone-deaf, establishment-style statement and hardly something any MAGA supporter would endorse. However, it seems that between that and Good's legal betrayal, President Trump found it easier to support McGuire.
In the end, Bob Good seriously misread the room with his endorsement of DeSantis, but even more so with his strong endorsement of the regime's law against President Trump. This also extended to everyone else, including J6 political prisoners Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and Douglass Mackey, who was convicted of a felony for sharing an anti-Hillary meme.

Today, with the regime's efforts to weaponize our judicial systems against political dissidents, it is simply a step too far to condone and condone. It is completely understandable why President Trump chose to go in a different direction. No conservative, regardless of their original endorsement, should ever mark the law of the regime.
