'Too late': Trump backs challenger to Freedom Caucus chair despite receiving prior endorsement
Fox News
Former President Trump announced his support for Rep. Bob Good's primary opponent on Tuesday, despite the Freedom Caucus chairman endorsing him and supporting him in court.
Both Good and his primary challenger, Virginia state Sen. John McGuire, recently traveled to New York City to show support for the former president during his criminal trial for alleged secret payments to silence adult film performer Stormy Daniels. Trump and his supporters have referred to the charges as "election interference." Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate.

The Freedom Caucus leader notably endorsed Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., in his 2024 bid against Trump. Good was one of only a few representatives that ventured to oppose Trump.
