The Virginia congressional race between Republican Bob Good and Democrat Cameron Webb wasn’t called until well after midnight as election officials continued to count the significant number of absentee ballots submitted this election.

Good and Webb went down to the wire in a race that should have been an easy win for Republicans. Good prevailed, with Webb conceding early Wednesday morning.

The 23 localities that make up the 5th Congressional District had reported most of their in-person votes Tuesday night, giving Good an edge. But Webb has been counting on early in-person and mail-in ballots to make up the difference.

Good, 54, a former member of the Campbell County Board of Supervisors, was the self-described “bright red Biblical conservative” who emerged in the general election as a staunch supporter of Trump.

Webb, a 37-year-old internal medicine doctor and director of health policy and equity at the University of Virginia, focused his campaign on how he was the unity candidate.
