Virginia state Sen. John McGuire, a former Navy SEAL endorsed by former President Donald Trump, emerged victorious in a recount of the Republican primary results in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District. McGuire narrowly defeated conservative U.S. Rep. Bob Good, chair of the House Freedom Caucus, in a closely contested race.
The initial primary results showed McGuire winning by 374 votes out of nearly 63,000 cast. However, with the margin of victory less than 1 percent, Good was entitled to request a recount. Following the recount, McGuire's lead narrowed slightly to 370 votes, solidifying his win.
