OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — As one of two Republican members of Congress from Washington to have voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler faces one of her toughest primaries since she was first elected to represent the southwest region of the state in 2010.
The number of Republicans in the race — including a former Green Beret endorsed by Trump — and the anger that the six-term congresswoman sparked among some in her party with her impeachment vote means Herrera Beutler could face a scenario that seemed unfathomable in her previous re-election bids: not making it through the primary.
“For me and my team and the way we look at it, it’s another tough election,” Herrera Beutler told The Associated Press. “I’m not changing course. I’m still the same Republican I’ve always been.”
Under Washington’s primary system, the top two vote getters in each race Aug. 2 advance to the November election, regardless of party. Washington is a vote by mail state, and voters don’t have to declare a party affiliation.
Rep. Dan Newhouse, a four-term congressman in the 4th Congressional District, is the other Washington state member of Congress who has drawn Republican challengers, including one endorsed by Trump, due to his vote.
Perhaps the best known outside candidate in Newhouse’s intraparty feud is Loren Culp, a former small town police chief who lost the 2020 governor’s race to Democrat Jay Inslee but refused to concede. He won Trump’s endorsement in February, but has lagged other candidates in reported fundraising figures.

Good.
Joe Kent should beat the Bush Leaguer with two last names if the people there have any sense at all.
I saw an article earlier that said that Trump’s pick will most likely be drafted. We’ll just have to wait and see. It would be nice if Trump held a rally in Washington.
“I’m not changing course. I’m still the same Republican I’ve always been.”
And there it is. She admits she’s utterly useless.
Voted for Jarod Sessler against Newweasel.
The Tri Cities would love to host that rally.
“Voted for Jarod Sessler against Newweasel.”
NASCAR is likely preparing to attack Sessler for “claiming” that he once was a race car driver in NASCAR.
I know this because I’ve done a bit of work for NASCAR over the past several years, and last week one of their corporate suits contacted me to ask what I know about Sessler (which is nothing).
I have no idea whether Sessler is embellishing his resume, but I am 100% certain that there would be no issue here if Sessler wasn’t a Republican.
NASCAR is thought of as a “Republican” sport, but — trust me — any validity that stereotype has ends once you leave the garage. All the woke suits, bean-counters and techies at the corporate office in Charlotte are liberal weenies and are mostly imported from northern states or foreign countries.
This says all you need to know…
“I’m not changing course. I’m still the same Republican I’ve always been.”
Open primary. Lots of crossover voters.
Butler is just a tad less radical than Che’knee
NASCAR is thought of as a “Republican” sport
If it ever was, the Bubba Wallace debacle ruined that forever. That MIXED race driver, whose FATHER is white and has owned an industrial cleaning company since 1999. That MIXED race driver, whose mother attended the University of Tennessee, ran track for the school, and is a social worker.
Yet they created this ‘person’ that was a black, under privileged kid trying to make it in the ‘white man’s sport’.
Sadly, NASCAR officials, in an attempt to prop him up, gave him a win, due to rain delays in a race that was barely half way over.
And people lap this sh*t up like it’s nothing.
Get rid of the Witch.
Open primaries with mail in voting…
Time to thin the herd of the weak.
