FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — One of America’s most conservative congressmen is facing a serious primary challenge in Virginia after his opponent was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Voters in two other districts are nominating candidates to fill two open seats in the state’s primary election Tuesday. Voters chose Suhas Subramanyam from a field of 12 Democrats to try to hold the seat held by U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton.  The marquee battle in Tuesday’s primary is in the state’s 5th Congressional District. That’s where congressman Bob Good is facing a challenge from state senator John McGuire. Trump endorsed McGuire and called Good a backstabber after Good endorsed Ron DeSantis instead of Trump for president.
