The announcement brings the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Republican Party\">Republican Party<\/a> one step closer to resolving a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/live-blog-posts\/virginia-republican-party-mcguire-winner-primary-blow-bob-good\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>monthslong saga<\/a> that split House conservatives, resulting in a feud between Good and several of his Republican colleagues. <\/p>\n<p>Under state law, Good has 10 days to request a recount because the margin of victory is under 1 point \u2014 a move his campaign has vowed to do. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of our district are reaching out to our campaign demanding that we pursue a recount. Our donors, our volunteers, and our supporters expect it,\u201d Diana Shores, Good\u2019s campaign manager, said in a statement. \u201cThis isn\u2019t about Bob Good. This is about the people of the district. We will pursue the recount to settle any questions about the fairness or transparency of the election process. This way, voters can confidently move forward to the general election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not yet clear when Good will file for a recount, but Shores told the <em>Washington Examiner <\/em>the timeline for the recount would be determined by a state judge. <\/p>\n<p>If the results are confirmed, Good will become only the second House incumbent to lose his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-republican-leader-slams-marjorie-taylor-greene-a-cancer-for-the-republican-party\/\" title=\"Top Republican Leader Slams Marjorie Taylor Greene: A \u2018Cancer For The Republican Party\u2019\">primary election<\/a> after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) lost his primary challenge last week. It would also make Good the first Freedom Caucus chairman to be defeated in a primary or general election race. <\/p>\n<p>Good has only been the leader of the Freedom Caucus since January, but for some House Republicans, his possible exit from Congress is a welcome development.<\/p>\n<p>Good upset GOP colleagues for encouraging other hard-line conservatives to vote against legislation \u2014 even bills introduced by his own party. He was also one of eight Republicans who voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to be a really proud Freedom Caucus member. But ever since Bob Good and a few others have basically infected the Freedom Caucus \u2014 their principles are so misguided, they\u2019re not being conservative,\u201d Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a former Freedom Caucus member before being removed last year, said. \u201cThey\u2019re not really fighting for America First or for even constitutional principles. They\u2019re mostly just fighting against leadership to fight against leadership. Because that\u2019s their identity: fighting against leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because the margin is higher than 0.5 point, Good will need to pay for the recount himself, which the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chicago-democrat-to-introduce-basic-income-plan-to-pay-up-to-5000-city-residents\/\" title=\"Chicago Democrat To Introduce Basic Income Plan To Pay Up To 5,000 City Residents\">caucus chairman<\/a> said he has the funds to do.
