A political action committee affiliated with Republican lawmakers is spending over $450,000 to defeat GOP incumbent Rep. Bob Good of Virginia. Good, a conservative two-term representative, voted to remove former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last fall. This move highlights the internal divisions within the Republican Party following McCarthy's ouster.

The super PAC, Defending Main Street, typically supports Republican incumbents but is targeting Good due to his voting record and not solely because of his stance on McCarthy. Good, known for advocating for deeper federal spending cuts and opposing spending agreements, faces opposition from his own party.
