Challenger Joe Kent is now within striking distance of winning the primary in the Washington State primary election against Never-Trumper Jaime Herrera Beutler.
Joe Kent clawed his way back into the race after Tuesday’s vote and is only 257 votes down in the latest count.
According to pollster Richard Baris, Joe Kent is assured to be the winner. There are 35,000 votes left to count from election day. Kent is predicted to win a vast majority of those votes.
Saturday morning on The War Room, Joe Kent told Steve Bannon that Kevin McCarthy and the GOP establishment ran $4.5 million in dirty ads against him in the last two weeks of the race.
Joe Kent: $45.5 million just in the last 12 days. A couple million before that… McCarthy directly gave her at least gave her $150,000 during the entire course of the election. That’s just going directly from his PAC going into her PAC. And from all the other GOP establishment PACs probably another $2.5 million right there.
Steve Bannon: Were the GOP establishment PACs, were those the ones doing the really nasty personal attacks on you?
Joe Kent: Absolutely, And they’re already starting to crop up going against Anthony Sabatini in Florida, as well.

This is more fun than watching a World Series or Super Bowl. GO JOE KENT.
Only a few more weeks and they should be half way done with counting all those ballots
Can our FRiends in WA chime in? Is this a pretty solid GOP seat. The article doesn’t discuss it
I hope he pulls it out. I think Trump is very well aware of McCarthys disloyalty and he will take care of it when the time is right.

Those in power in GOP want nothing to do with Trump.
They depend upon the stupid people to be blind to the obvious.

President Trump is no longer under any delusions about the crooked establishment...their dirty backstabbing crap won’t fly anymore!!!
At this point if we get the House back I don’t see any chance of stopping McCarthy from becoming speaker. That would make him the incumbent Speaker in 24. If Trump wins I think he will be dealing with McCarthy as Speaker unfortunately. So it will be Ryan 2.0
That’s correct and Jim Jordan is supporting McCarthy for the position. I don’t understand why Jordan wouldn’t want to be Speaker.
We MUST prevent McCarthy from being Speaker. I am beginning to believe he is another Paul Ryan.
Trump needs to just come out and tell everyone the truth - until we get rid of the swamp elites in the RNC and the GOPe we have little home of taking on the “opposition”.
Clean up our own house first and then head outside.
Sadly, I don’t think Trump will do this no matter his decision on 2024.
JJ couldn’t snipe from the sidelines for votes if he was speaker. Simple really.
I hope you are kidding. Trump will be 50% Trump as long as he has all this GOPe deadweight hanging around his neck.
I don’t get it.
It’s great and we all cheer if the President does things we like by executive order, but real change comes in the congress. Lasting change that is far more difficult for the next person to wash away.
We can have Trump as Prez, DeSantis as VP, and the biggest bunch of meateaters in the world for cabinet and it will mean little if McCarthy is speaker. We can elect 80 MAGA house members and McCarthy will still throttle it all.
when you play chess do you tell your opponent what your moves are going to be?
Well you are right but keep in mind despite Ryan and that weasel Mitch Trump got a lot done and that was when Trump had to be concerned with re-election each and every day. Trump definitely underestimated how far they would go to back stab him at every turn. I suspect he has learned a lot.
It’s Trump who is the RINO. That’s why I voted for him.
I wish more conservatives would get over this idea that the Republican Party represents them. It doesn’t. It just needs our votes because Chamber of Commerce money alone doesn’t win them elections.

It would seem that the only hope would be to find and use some political wedge to fragment the remaining GOPe R’s...
This is a Civil War for control of the GOP. If we don’t win this, we never will.

They depend upon the stupid people to be blind to the obvious.
And by the time the stupid people wake up we will be vastly outnumbered by anchor babies, etc. The greatest danger isn’t voter fraud. It’s that Marxists will win elections
“legitimately” through population replacement.
This district is slightly center right. However, some libs are escaping Portland and infecting SW WA, so a conservative D could swing the district.
I hope Trump has learned that real lasting change, the kind that cannot be erased by a pen stroke like Biden did, starts and ends in congress.
It is FAR harder for the left to overturn a conservative policy once it is codified into law.
I rarely hear anyone say this, but the biggest impediment to Trump was Paul Ryan. Had Ryan not helped push the Russian collusion delusion that would have fallen apart within months instead of dragging on for years through the mid-terms.
Paul Ryan is the Republicrat I dislike the most. What a total disappointment he was. We knew who Mitch was. We thought we knew who Ryan was. The “Reluctant Speaker” indeed.
All he had to do was support Nunes and his committee in the house and he could have interrupted the big lie that (along with the GOPe) crippled Trump and prevented him from moving his legislation in congress. Mitch would have resisted too, but he is smart enough to recognize which way the wind blows.
