GOP Rep. Bob Good of Virginia is promising calls for a “full recount” in the closely watched 5th Congressional District primary election against state Sen. John McGuire.
“We’re going to have a full recount. We are going to have a full investigation, it’s going to stretch out for a couple of weeks,” Good, who also raised questions about the integrity of the election, said Thursday on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
The comments mark Good’s first on-camera remarks since Tuesday’s primary, when he left his election night watch party without addressing the media, instead saying in a post on X that the race is “too close to call.”
Good is narrowly trailing McGuire as of Friday morning. Good can request a recount if the margin remains within 1 percentage point.
CNN has not yet made a projection in the race.
“We’ve got lawyers at the ready. Thankfully, a tremendous number of lawyers at our disposal,” Good, who previously denied the 2020 election results, told Bannon.
