High-Stakes Primary Races in Washington: A Political Battlefield

Washington state's congressional primary races are drawing significant attention, particularly those involving high-profile figures such as U.S. House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, and a Democrat centrist being challenged by candidates with strong views on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Trump's endorsements loom large over several key contests.

Washington state congressional primary races are grabbing headlines, featuring a dramatic showdown involving one of the last U.S. House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. Representative Dan Newhouse faces off against Trump-backed Jerrod Sessler and Tiffany Smiley.

Another notable race is in the 8th Congressional District, where centrist Democrat Kim Schrier confronts a strong campaign led by Imraan Siddiqi, focusing on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Schrier has historically sought Republican endorsements to appear moderate.

In the 3rd District, Trump-endorsed Joe Kent is challenging Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, who narrowly defeated him two years ago. This race is predicted to be one of the closest in the nation.
