“Joe Kent just won an incredible race against all odds in Washington State. Importantly, he knocked out yet another impeacher, Jaime Herrera Beutler, who so stupidly played right into the hands of the Democrats. Joe is a wonderful guy, who bravely served our country as a Green Beret. He has a truly bright future,” Trump said.
Millions of dollars were spent to stop Joe Kent however he just kept trucking and won the primary.
1) In Clark County, which makes up most of Washington’s 3rd district, Democratic candidates took just 38% of the vote in the 2022 Congressional primary while GOP candidates took 60.2%.

3) In 2020 Herrera Beutler ran about 1.5% ahead of the GOP candidate for Governor in Clark County. In 2018, she ran less than 2% ahead of the GOP Senate candidate in Clark. But the Dem share in her 2022 House primary race was 12% higher than it was in the 2022 Senate primary.

5) This suggests approximately 10% of overall primary voters were fake crossover voters for @HerreraBeutler. They supported her in the primary not because they would vote for her in the general, but because they preferred her as an opponent.

7) @joekent16jan19 would have won easily and been able to save some of his $ for the general election. These were Dem voters meddling in the GOP primary to pick the GOP candidate that Democrats preferred to face.
Totally corrupt.

9) Meanwhile @RepNewhouse was dragged over the finish line (despite taking just 1/3 of the GOP primary vote) by fake crossover Dems voting in the GOP primary.

14) So TLDR, the Dems and GOP establishment worked hand in glove to decapitate the actual choices of GOP voters in 2022.
They succeeded WA-04 and came *thisclose* to doing so in WA-03.

Kent is expected to win the general election.
