CBS News projected that Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Republican state Sen. John Braun will advance to the general election in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. The closely watched House race could affect control of the chamber.
Washington’s nonpartisan primary sends the two candidates with the most votes to the November ballot. Gluesenkamp Perez and Braun advanced after finishing ahead of seven other candidates. The race is rated a tossup by the Cook Political Report and leans Democratic by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.
The article notes Gluesenkamp Perez’s past votes on student loan forgiveness, military support to Israel and a previous version of the SAVE America Act. President Donald Trump endorsed Braun in April. Braun has said Biden won the 2020 election and criticized Trump’s broad use of tariffs, while acknowledging some appropriate uses for them.
