Trump-Backed Congressional Candidate Joe Kent Pulls Ahead of Pro-Impeachment RINO Jaime Herrera Beutler in Washington State
Iraq War veteran Joe Kent, a Trump-endorsed candidate, has moved ahead of pro-impeachment Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler in Washington state’s jungle primary.
Kent and Beutler have been fighting in a closely-contested primary for second place and the right to take on Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in November’s midterm elections for the state’s 3rd Congressional District.
Kent now leads by 960 votes. Kent trailed by thousands as of election day, but Washington state’s process takes a long time to count votes that are cast on the day of the election. Kent dominated Herrera Beutler with voters who showed up on election day to cast their ballots.
Observers are now projecting Kent to win second place in the primary and move onto the ballot in November:
I've seen enough: #WA03 Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R) has lost reelection. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D) and Joe Kent (R) will advance to November. https://t.co/EmfedULXX3

Big League Politics has reported on Kent’s support of non-interventionist foreign policy on the campaign trail:
“Trump-backed Congressional candidate Joe Kent, a Washington state Republican, appeared on War Room with Steve Bannon on Thursday to explain the underpinnings of the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
While the fake news media wants to act as if Russian President Vladimir Putin is engaging in unprovoked aggression through his actions in Ukraine, the truth is far more complicated. The stage was set for this conflict throughout decades of U.S. interventionist policies that have harmed national security interests greatly at the behest of the military-industrial complex.
Kent stands to pose a major threat to the military-industrial complex if he is elected to Congress. His apparent advancement to the November primary is great news for the cause of America First.
