Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, an auto shop owner who was a virtual unknown before August’s primary election, pulled off perhaps the most stunning political upset in the country this year, winning a congressional seat in Southwest Washington that few saw as competitive.

Gluesenkamp Perez, a Democrat, defeated Donald Trump-endorsed Republican Joe Kent in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, with roughly 50.5% of the vote Saturday.

The latest ballot count Saturday in Clark County put Gluesenkamp Perez’s lead over Kent, an Army Special Forces veteran, at more than 4,600 votes, with an estimated 15,000 or fewer votes remaining. She had led since election night, but Kent narrowed the gap in later counts.

The Seattle Times projects Gluesenkamp Perez as the winner, as an analysis shows Kent would need 73% of the remaining votes to catch up.

Depicting Kent dressing up as MTG for Halloween.

This was a richly-deserved smackdown, especially given, as reported elsewhere here, that the dumblicans tossed one of the few incumbents they had with a working brain to dig up this subterranean.

The long time moderate republican in that district had the nerve to vote for impeachment after Jan. 6. Donald insisted they primary her and put in a True believer nut bag. The people didn't go for it. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler would have won easily.

6. He is a hardcore Trumpie.

Even purple SW Washington couldn't stand him.

7. This is on Trump. He inserted a lunatic into the race and lost a "safe" Republican seat.
