House Republicans are once again embroiled in a messy family fight, with several lawmakers endorsing primary challengers to their sitting GOP colleagues.

"I think every member should worry about their own race and not get involved in other people's races," Rep. Will Timmons, R-S.C., whose own primary challenger is backed by several members of the House Freedom Caucus, told Fox News Digital. "But unfortunately, there's a domino effect when, you know, he makes decisions to get involved in other people's races. It's only logical that there will be a countervailing force."

Timmons, who is being backed by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was referring to Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good, R-Va., who has endorsed several Republican challengers running to the right of current members.
