Chip Roy (R-TX), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Andrew Clyde (R-GA), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ) traveled to Good\u2019s district in rural southern Virginia to appeal to voters to support Good. A small crowd of around 75 people gathered to hear Freedom Caucus members promote their leader, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/03\/28\/freedom-caucus-chair-faces-primary-peril\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><em>Washington Post<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a one<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-outraise-democrats-across-the-board-in-january\/\" title=\"Republicans Outraise Democrats Across the Board in January\">-seat majority<\/a>,\u201d Biggs said at the event. \u201cImagine if the one-seat majority consisted of somebody other than Bob Good from your district. That would be a disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Good belongs to a GOP group that has defied leadership in recent months. He was one of eight Republicans who voted to oust then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy late last year.<\/p>\n<p>Other Republicans such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) have endorsed his Republican challenger, state Sen. John McGuire. She joined other members to campaign for McGuire in northern Virginia this weekend. Good was not pleased.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe goes up to Washington, D.C., to host his fundraisers with the RINO establishment moderates that he can\u2019t bring to the 5th District and campaign for him,\u201d Good said at his event in southern Virginia. \u201cBecause if he brought his friends here, it would actually help me, and I would owe them an in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/is-the-presidential-turkey-pardon-constitutional-legal-experts-and-peta-weigh-in\/\" title=\"Is The Presidential Turkey Pardon Constitutional?

Ron DeSantis (R-FL) over former President Donald Trump. Despite endorsing Trump minutes after DeSantis dropped out of the race, his original endorsement didn\u2019t sit well with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBob Good won\u2019t be electable by the time we get done with him,\u201d said Chris LaCivita, Trump\u2019s campaign manager.<\/p>\n<p>Good has since tried to get closer to Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the Trump team recognizes that I am a genuine Trump supporter,\u201d Good told the <em>Washington Post<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019ve said many times that he was the greatest president of my lifetime. I supported him in 2016. I supported him in 2020. I supported him last year and this year. I said I would enthusiastically endorse and support him as our nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGuire originally challenged Good because of Good\u2019s endorsement of DeSantis over Trump. He has declined to comment on a Trump endorsement directly but hinted that he is in better standing with the former president than Good is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was invited to speak onstage,\u201d McGuire said. \u201cBob Good was not. I was invited to go get a photograph with my wife and Trump. Bob Good was not. Bob Good was not even invited to the rally, but he wiggled his way in. He did not get a photograph.
