As each batch of ballots is counted in Washington State’s 3rd congressional district, MAGA candidate Joe Kent has gained significant ground.
Republican Joe Kent is now within striking distance of primarying Jaime Herrera Beutler, with approximately 30,000 ballots remaining to be counted.
Jamie Herrera Beutler, who voted to impeach President Trump and is one of the MAGA targets for 2022, now has 41,603 votes. Trump-endorsed Joe Kent has moved from a several thousand vote deficit, into the latest result of 41,346 votes. The difference is now down to 257 votes.
Washington State has that jungle primary voting system where the top two candidate’s face-off in the general election. According to Kent on Twitter, there are 30,000 ballots left to be counted. Prayers up!! Joe Kent might just pull off this victory.
If the next batch of 30,000 ballots, carries the same ratio as today’s batch of 22,000 ballots, Joe Kent will take the lead.
I’m only 1% behind RINO Beutler despite millions spent against me & the establishment supporting 2 spoiler candidates to split the MAGA vote.
We are within the margin for a mandatory recount & that will require legal support, help me stay in the fight!https://t.co/JsOHEvJ306 https://t.co/IFS6W42JoV

The vote drip is DISGUSTING. Abuse of Power by election “officials”. trying to pump up the count by fraud
Our fingers are crossed.
Ranked choice voting is the UniParty’s answer to an awakened electorate. It’s their last gasp effort to rig themselves a lifetime of grift.
It probably helped Kent that the high profile AZ races sucked the air out of the lamestream media coverage. That led to nobody working very hard to defeat him.
I’m praying for Joe Kent to beat the odds.
According to a GP article, Kevin McCarthy’s PAC dropped a ton of $$$ to smear Kent in the last 12 days before the election.
We’re awake to their machinations. The party will be defeated.
Willing to do my part to see McCarthy primaried by a true MAGA candidate in 2024! I have recently moved to his district.
Go forth grasshopper & learn the lay of the land!
If republicans really wanted to displace democrats, it seems the RNC could settle before the primary, too many (R) candidates in a Primary with only one democrat.
Interesting that 41,000+ voters (I?) don’t care about Beutler’s Trump Impeachment vote.
The RNC is working as hard as it can to fight off a MAGA insurgency, NOT defeat Dems.
It not only doesn’t care if Dems win seats, it prefers a Dem take a seat, to MAGA taking it, as its actions have shown, for many years.
The establishment Republicans, are Dems with an R after their name.
Just like their Declared Dem partners, they engage in manipulative false narratives to decieve.
For instance, they argue that MAGA candidates can’t win in the General, because they won’t appeal to moderate Dems, who’s votes are neccesary to win.
Truth is, any moderate Dems that haven’t been lured away from the Dem party by PDJT, have been driven out by Biden.
There ARE no more ‘moderate Dem’ voters left.
The whole “Red wave” narrative, meaning a REPUBLICAN wave, is a false narrative.
No lifelong Dem voter, no hispanic voter, or any other Dem ‘demographic’ voter is “coming over” to vote Republican is doing so, because of anything the Republican PARTY or establishment Republicans are doing,…pretty obvious cause THEY HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING!
This IS a “WAVE election”, true enough. A MAGA wave, a mass of resistance rising up in revulsion of the Uniparty policies, and the Uniparty is fighting DEFENCE, trying to shore up its flanks, even as its middle is collapsing.
And every move it makes to defend itself or try to go on offence, involves forced errors or sacrifice plays, i.e. a major cost is payed.
The MAGA movement grew, in part as a result of the failed Mueller ‘insurance policy’ muh russia fiasco, which caused many to red pill.
The Unselect committee on J6 has similarly become counter-productive, and joined Mueller as being a theater of the absurd.
Hard to think of a better example of “the further I go, the behinder I get” than the trail of defeat of the Uniparty over the last 6 years.
My dear departed Dad would say “they keep stepping on their own d*cks”; step outside of events, put emotion aside, and ask yourself this;
Which ‘side’ in this contest would you rather be, in terms if field position, strong team, better players, tactics and strategy to win, etc.
PDJT, or the Uniparty, US or THEM? I ALMOST feel sorry for them, as watching this contest objectively reminds me of exhibition basketball games between the Harlem Globetrotters and well,….anyone else.
Which side will ultimately win is not in doubt, the seats are packed with butts, just to watch the show.
Meh. This fraud voted for Bernie sanders. He’ll be no better than she is.
Did you see Joe on Tucker? I think he’s the real deal. Tucker did too.
so you believe the ads paid for by zuckerbucks? dont be a sucker!
Don’t be a zucker
There is a good deal of overlap between the populist right and populist left in terms of identifying problems, which institutions and policies caused them.
That would be great , I hope that dopey woman that stayed in after promising to drop out if didn’t get President Trump endorsement ( which went to Kent ) and severely split vote, hangs her head in shame. I wonder if “they” got to her to convince her to stay in and split vote – wouldn’t be surprised ….strategy almost worked , but hopefully ultimately failed … hopefully
With most of the votes that went to Heidi (not shown in the articles graphic), Joe could have wrapped this up on Tuesday evening. Which is tough to do with Washington’s funky “postmarked” ballot return system.
Once again, the umpteenth example of a statistically unlikely ultra-close race.
Like I’ve wondered every time this happens, just enough fraud to win, but no more?
And if you think that only the Dim side of the UniParty would do that, I disagree.
Could THAT be why the decades-long gripes from both the left and right about well documented voting machine vulnerabilities haven’t been seriously addressed and the total failure to investigate what was revealed by 2000 Mules which should have resulted in a widespread public scandal and investigation HASN’T?
I certainly think so.
In retrospect, its becoming clear the election fraud has been a complex, multi-faceted approach, over many years, with interlocking parts.
And yes, they figured out a long time ago that for itvto work, long term the theft needs to NOT be detected by the populace.
And so, win by JUST ENOUGH votes to avoid a recount, just enough to cover the bet if the opponent gets a few more votes than expected.
Hence, the magic 10,000 for Biden, in key States.
Its strikingly similar to something they have been TELLING us, for years.
Experts, pollsters actually, repeating word for word;
“America is a 50/50 nation, with SLIGHTLY MORE voting Dem.”
SEE it, right there! SLIGHTLY MORE.
Objectively, there is no reliable data to support this statement. Nobody, not even the DNC and RNC can give accurate data as to how many registered R’S, D’ or I’s there are, at any point in time.
1/2 the States do not record party affiliations when people register.
TTV has confirmed ALL Voter rolls, in all States are corrupted, and so unreliable.
Polls?,….forgetaboutit!
So, no one ever ASKS these “experts” Based on WHAT, do you make this assertion of “50/50, with SLIGHTLY MORE D’s”?
Like polls just before sn election, creating an expectation of the (stolen) results, this broader program of ‘gaslighting’ with this “50/50” nonsense, obscures the truth.
Why has Fox, sucky as it is, consistently had highest ratings. Anyone think its because Libs, Dems whatever are watching?
So, if America is “50/50 with slightly more D’s” than WHY isn’t it reflected in TV ratings?
I am not convinced many States labeled “reliably Blue” or “trending purple” actually ARE, as such statements are made by the same “experts” that perpetuate this “50/50” nonsense.
Its like cheating in a poker game; you don’t stack the deck so as to win every hand,..as that would be obvious,..you stack the deck so that over the coarse of an evening, you walk away the winner.
Well, let us hope that the old ploy of stopping the count for the night does not bring in a batch of freshly minted ballots for the RINO. The swamp rats from both parties are wringing their collective hands in hopes of preventing the karma that will be heading their way come January 2023 with the new and true Republican controlled Congress. The never Trumpers from both parties and the press are a despicable bunch and should not be holding any elective seat anywhere.
They have never even tried to give a credible explanation of this inexplicable behavior, and as Az. just demonstrated, they have now institutionalised it, as the new normal.
What part of “You do NOT stop counting, until you have a declared winner” is so hard to understand?
If that means overtime, if that means multiple shifts of employees, THATS WHAT YOU DO.
And, if they say its because of the MACHINES, thats just another in a long line of reasons for scrapping the machines.
The whole idea of Federal funding to the States to buy the machines was to avoid the hanging chads debacle; election outcomes delayed for weeks, with serious doubts as to the legitimacy of the results.
That the machines don’t address those issues, but actually compound them, make it clear the medicine is far worse than the disease, and the machines need to be scrapped and paper ballots, hand counted with no stopping the count until there is an official result, is a painfully obvious reform to add to the list, along with voter I.D., etc.
This battle shouldn’t have even been close. But then I used to live in Washington State (actually in Joe Kent’s district) and can say with confidence that it is a communist country.
Trump half-assed WA3. He had two good candidates to endorse. He picked the former Democrat, Bernie voter, CIA guy. Then he couldn’t be bothered to come to Washington for a rally. He was in Arizona like every other day. Washington? Never. At this point, I hope we end up with Kent, but he is far from perfect. (A fact that JHB and the RNC exploited in the final weeks of the campaign, with nonstop attach ads featuring actual audio of Kent bragging that he was a registered Portland Democrat who voted for Bernie.)
Rep. Jamie Herrera’s clone and Republican splitter candidate, Heidi St. John has siphoned off 29,000 votes. Had this dishonest woman dropped out once Trump made his endorsement of Kent this race would’ve been a BLOWOUT.
EVERY frickin day, for 2 weeks, we were getting hit job ads in the mailbox coming from 4 Republican PACS. All were either for Herrera or St. John. I don’t even think St. John ever stepped a foot in Souhtern Thurston County. Kent campaigned hard there (Everywhere actually) and he picked up a lot votes there to narroww the lead. Clark County (VAncouver) is where most of the reamining ballots need to be counted.
Rather than criticising and blaming others for THEIR behavior, its far more pproductive to look at our OWN behavior, as its the only thing we have control over.
Az has clearly demonstrated, in order to overcome both wings of the Uniparty, you must look at more than JUST elections; you must look at State Republican party activities and structures more broadly.
If EStablishment Republicans hold all the controlling positions within the State party, from precinct captain to State Chair and executive committee, they will exert control over the whole primary process, to insure EITHER their candidates win, or the Dem does.
They will do everything they can, including finding and running splitter candidates, etc. to undermine any MAGA candidates.
You know why PDJT had multiple rallys in Az?
Cause the State party chair is MAGA. Because an insurgency came into the State Republican Party, and fought the establishment McStain machine, and drove them out.
And, thats why PDJT was not faced with any dillemma, in making his endorsements for Az.
12 endorsements, MAGA every one, and 12 wins.
If you want PDJT’s endorsement, rallys, and attention,…EARN IT.
Otherwise, your just whining.
And, this applies in Washington, Pennsylvania, even California and NYS.
If the base in a State is disheartened and flaccid, sitting at home and expecting PDJT to “save them” and not willing to do the hard work of purging the State party of establishment Dems with an R after their name, frankly you get the misrepresentation you deserve.
PDJT has no authority, or power to purge the State party of the garbage, thats up to you.
Enough State parties become Magafied, and Ronna McDanial gets thrown out on her fat ass, as the purge becomes complete.
PREACH!
Why are still counting votes three days after the freaking election? Even the French are wrapped up the night of a national election,
One day in person voting voter ID required precincts 1000 voters or less counting and 9 PM no excuses hand counted paper ballots no machines no computers no counters.
Go, Joe!
He reminds me of Robert Kennedy Jr. When he was younger. Similar look.
I hope he pulls it off!
Remember when Donald J. Trump announced his candidacy back in 2015…
he had to beat the Entire Republican Party, The Democrat Party, The Deep State,
The Media and EVERY Other Enemy of Freedom Worldwide !
Welcome to the club Joe Kent !
Best of Luck to you !
Sometimes Donald Trump himself needs to remember that, and trust the people.
Do y’all remember the Governor race in Wa. State a few years back….
Recount after Recount…. Total Fraud….
Rossi should have won straight out !
Crying’ Adam Kinzinger is resigning.
Fred Upton is resigning.
John Katko is resigning.
Anthony Gonzalez is resigning.
Tom Rice was defeated.
Peter Meijer was defeated.
Joe Kent will soon defeat Jaime Herrera Beutler.
Harriet Hageman will defeat Liz Cheney next week.
Is there a decent primary challenger to David Valadao in California?
Dan Newhouse should thank God for Jerrod Sessler splitting the #NeverNeverTrump vote from Loren Culp in WA-4.
At most, 2 of the 10 Impeachment Hoax voters will remain in the House come January.
PURGE THE RINOs!
The California Primary this year was on June 7th and Valadao won. Always thought PTrump should do more rallies in Reno and Las Vegas which would attract California voters, but too late now for that race.
Valdao will probably lose general election to Dem . . His district went 10 points to Biden in 2020 , so that might ( sarcasm ) explain his vote , don’t think it will save him in general though , so he too will be gone ultimately …with perhaps only Newhouse surviving in Nov. , assuming Kent overtakes Herrara Beutler .
Valadao is in a heavily Hispanic district. IF that ethnic group is shifting to the Rs, he might survive the election.
How many votes will be found in a trunk or delivered by mail a week after the election, in addition to these 30,000? Stay tuned.
Washington State is lost territory. Just as lost as my regretfully ruined State of CA. Yes, there are parts of the interior that aren’t fully communist yet … but the coast and the college towns are done. Finished.
How do voters make sure their candidate comes in first? Is the secret just voting your candidate number 1 and leaving all others blank?
