Residents of Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District will vote on June 18 on whether to send back one of the leaders of the conservative movement or nominate a primary opponent endorsed by former President Donald Trump in one of the most-watched primary contests this election year.

Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), chairman of the staunchly conservative House Freedom Caucus, is facing a challenge from Virginia state Sen. John McGuire, a former Navy SEAL. As the two have similar policy positions on issues such as border security, the contest has focused largely on loyalty to former President Trump.
