Former President Donald Trump has endorsed John McGuire over incumbent Rep. Bob Good in the upcoming Virginia primary. Despite Good's support for Trump, including attending his trial two weeks ago, Trump has criticized Good and labeled him a 'back-stabbing traitor.' This endorsement, announced on May 28, could significantly impact the balance of power within the GOP’s House ranks. Trump's endorsement history has been inconsistent, with some successful and some less favorable outcomes. Good's previous endorsement of Ron DeSantis may have influenced Trump's decision.
Mr. Trump’s endorsement could further tip the scales in Mr. McGuire's favor. https://t.co/H6fFgoeOj0

Trump takes revenge on Rep. Bob Good after he endorsed Ron DeSantis https://t.co/QpcotPyzIJ
The biggest problem with Trump's endorsements this cycle isn't the open seats (you can argue outside of a couple they've been excellent), it's the shitty incumbents he's willing to defend but target people like Good.

Trump Trashes Loyalist Republican Who Attended Hush-Money Trial Rep. Bob Good is learning the hard way that groveling before the former president doesn’t guarantee an endorsement https://t.co/c9JReZQ8qy
There is nothing special about Bob Good. He is a loud-mouth, do-nothing member of Congress. He has accomplished NOTHING! He also started the fight with Trump. Trump is simply finishing it. Go win this thing @JohnMcGuire4VA 🇺🇸
Rep. Bob Good has been a vocal member of the bootlicking brigade who made pilgrimages to Donald Trump’s hush-money trial but it still wasn’t enough to secure an endorsement from his dear leader. https://t.co/DYaY9dnfi8
Donald Trump offered his coveted endorsement to @JohnMcGuire4VA on Tuesday, giving the Virginia challenger a boost in his 2024 challenge to @RepBobGood. DETAILS: https://t.co/arqmmKm2q0 https://t.co/fOBPS4RAQE
Trump's endorsements have been extremely hit or miss. He either has a streak of amazing endorsements, or a streak of shitty endorsements. The problem is it seems like he's listening to the MAGA Inc people for endorsements like Hamadeh or McGuire.
Not a great day so far for Bob Good — Trump endorsed his challenger this morning and now MTG is making the rounds to call him a “back-stabbing traitor” https://t.co/EueM0P7ZuW
Trump is attacking Bob Good, despite how he attended Trump’s trial two weeks ago in support of him. (Good and his primary opponent both rode in the motorcade to the courthouse.) https://t.co/qyes0qCcWv
