    Interesting.

    ' "Denver Riggleman, Former Republican Representative of Virginia, shares why he is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris instead of former President Trump. He states that "truth and facts need to be the baseline for this election," and talks about what he is hearing back from Republicans. Riggleman speaks with Joe Mathieu on Bloomberg's "Balance of Power." '

    From useless wiki who always glows up the left, he still sucked. Thanks for bringing another waste of time thread to us, Ken.

    Main article: 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia § District 5
    The Rappahannock County Republican Party criticized Riggleman after he officiated a same-sex weddingbetween two of his friends, and in September he was censured by party officials who claimed that he had "abandoned party principles" over fiscal and immigration policy.[20]

    On September 26, 2019, Campbell County Supervisor Bob Good—who also worked as an athletics official at Liberty University—announced his intention to challenge Riggleman in the 2020 Republican primary. In his announcement, Good accused Riggleman of "betraying" the trust of conservative voters in the 5th district along with casting votes that were not in his constituency's best interest. Riggleman secured key endorsements on the right, including from Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr.[21]

    The local party leaders of the 5th Congressional District Republican Committee chose to determine the 2020 nominee for the fifth district by a convention instead of a primary election.[22] On June 13, 2020, Good defeated Riggleman at the nominating convention[23] with 58% of the vote to Riggleman's 42%.[24]
