"Bob Good Takes Charge as Hard-Right Leader in House GOP Drama"

Rep. Bob Good, a hard-right Republican, has been elected as the head of the House Freedom Caucus, a move that has raised concerns within the GOP due to his controversial endorsement of Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential primary. Good's endorsement of DeSantis could also be a liability in his own reelection race, where he is facing a pro-Trump Republican challenger. Despite making enemies within the GOP, Good is ready to hold the new speaker, Mike Johnson, accountable and has no regrets about his decision to support DeSantis and oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker. Good's selection has drawn criticism from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who called it a "major mistake." Good will now lead the Freedom Caucus through high-profile fights related to federal spending and potential impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden.
