**John McGuire Defeats Bob Good in Virginia Republican Primary Recount**
Virginia state Senator and former Navy SEAL **John McGuire** has emerged victorious over **U.S. Rep. Bob Good** following a closely contested recount for the Republican primary in Virginia's 5th Congressional District. Initially certified with a 374-vote lead, McGuire's margin was adjusted to a narrow 370-vote victory after an intensive and meticulous recount process.
**Key Points:**
McGuire received a significant endorsement from former President Donald Trump, bolstering his candidacy in the Republican primary.
The official declaration of McGuire's victory was made by Chief Judge Claude Worrell II, bringing closure to the recount process.
This recount effort spanned nearly 14 hours, underscoring the close nature of the race and the importance of each vote.
Bob Good has acknowledged his defeat, expressing gratitude to his supporters for their commitment and dedication throughout the campaign.
Good, a prominent conservative figure aligned with the House Freedom Caucus, had previously endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the GOP presidential race. This endorsement reportedly prompted Donald Trump to lend his support to McGuire's campaign.
The recount itself was not without costs, estimated at $96,500, necessitated by McGuire's winning margin being less than 1%. With this victory, McGuire is now set to advance to the November general election, where he will face off against Democrat **Gloria Witt** in a district known for its conservative leanings.
