In Washington State’s 3rd and 4th districts, the Republican incumbents who voted for Donald Trump’s second impeachment have each been challenged in their primaries by Trump’s MAGA candidates. But while one looks safe to keep their seat, the other is in danger of losing a Congressional spot they’ve held for over a decade. Herrera Beutler, who had about 24% on Tuesday night, dropped to 22.6% Thursday night, 257 votes ahead of Kent, who was at 22.5%. Heidi St. John, another MAGA candidate, ran without Trump’s endorsement but refused to drop out, siphoning votes from Herrera Beutler more than Kent. Counties have until August 16th to finish their count and for canvassing boards to certify the results, followed by certification by the secretary of state by August 19th.
