I think the general election for this race will be moderate Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, vs. Trump-backed challenger Joe Kent. Progressive challenger Brent Hennrich has run a strong campaign and current polling does show him in the general with Kent. I would be surprised if Herrera Beutler is knocked out in the primary

Thank goodness for the top two primary system.

Thank goodness for the top two primary system. Seems like the results would have been the same in a normal primary system.

I think the perception is that no top two takes some votes away from Beutler that might not have voted in an R primary if they had an open primary meanwhile, it's apparently Democrats fault for voting for a Democrat if Beutler loses this primary https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1555401943283015680

That's an uncharacteristically bad take by Wasserman.

I guess the anti-JHB Republicans did more to help her than the Democrats because the anti-JHB Republicans might just split their vote and let JHB through.

the reaction to that Wasserman tweet has been split between Democrats unhappy that they're being expected to prop up JHB and Kent supporters mad that Kent is called "pro-conspiracy"

Hey, for once that dubious b*llshit where it somehow, inexplicably, takes a freakin' week to count the ballots, has actually worked out in favor of the populist side. I suppose that has to happen one out of every 50 times or so? Kinda like ball lightning. It technically exists, but you basically never see it. It's almost like when you count votes, sometimes you lose. Go back into lurking.

Well this is definitely a disappointment.
