As House Republicans once again appeared outside a New York courthouse in a show of support for former President Donald Trump at his criminal trial, the display offered an awkward split screen: House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good (R-VA) standing next to his primary challenger, who many of his Republican colleagues have backed to defeat him.
Good stood alongside Virginia state Sen. John McGuire as a group of House Republicans spoke to reporters outside the Manhattan criminal court on Thursday in support of Trump, who has entered the fifth week of his hush money trial. The joint appearance comes as both candidates have sought to paint themselves as more hard-right than the other, with Trump’s support often crucial in such a tight primary.
