Former President Donald Trump endorsed Virginia Republican state Sen. John McGuire, who is trying to unseat House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good in the state's 5th Congressional District.
Trump blasted Good in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, writing: "Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA. He turned his back on our incredible movement, and was constantly attacking and fighting me until recently, when he gave a warm and "loving" Endorsement – But really, it was too late. The damage had been done!
"I just want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that can most help me do that is Navy Seal and highly respected State Legislator, John McGuire, a true American Hero. John, who fought the Cartels on the Front Line, and then came home and fought the drug dealers in Virginia, will ALWAYS PUT AMERICA FIRST.
"I had the safest Border in history, built hundreds of miles of Wall, and then Crooked Joe Biden came along and ruined it, making it one of the worst human catastrophes ever in our Country. John and I will correct this situation, and fast! He is strong on crime, will protect our great Military/Vets, and will always defend our under siege Second Amendment. John McGuire has my Complete and Total Endorsement! MAGA2024."
In a show of support, Good recently attended Trump's paperwork trial in New York along with a group of Republican lawmakers, The Hill noted.
