The Tuesday primary for Washington’s third congressional district hasn’t been called yet, as not all the votes have been counted yet. For awhile, Trump Jaime Herrera Beutler was running away with second place in the jungle primary they have in that nutbag state. It was widely assumed that Herrera-Beutler would cruise to a second place finish (because of the vote splitting between Republicans). But with 95.7% of the counted in that district, challenger Joe Kent is withing about 250 votes of the RINO Trump impeacher.
As of this post, the vote total stands at:
Jaime Herrera Beutler 41,603 votes
Joe Kent – 41,346 votes
Can Joe Kent pull this thing out?

This is a safe Republican district too.
