House Freedom Caucus Chair Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential race following the exit of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whom he had been supporting.

“It is my privilege to provide my complete and total endorsement for Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States. President Trump was the greatest President of my lifetime, and we need him to reinstate the policies that were working so well for America,” Mr. Good said in a Jan. 22 X post.
