Joe Kent has been defeated in Washington's Third Congressional District. This is the seat currently held by Jaime Herrera-Beutler, who Kent primaried this year, because she didn't support Trump. Instead of focusing on issues that mattered, Kent was out pushing extremist positions. As a result, the Republicans have lost this seat in a Republican friendly district.
Kent, 42, won former Trump’s endorsement early in the primary cycle and has embraced the former president’s lies about the 2020 election and downplayed the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Kent repeatedly called those arrested for the Jan. 6 attack “political prisoners” and said he wanted to investigate the FBI, searching for evidence the agency secretly instigated the attack.
He ran on a pro-Trump “America First” agenda, vowing to seek immediate impeachment of Biden, opposing U.S. miltary aid to Ukraine, and calling for a near total shutdown on immigration.
