It remains unclear how Southwest Washington voters will respond, but at least one political expert believes Herrera Beutler is likely to win more centrist and left-leaning voters while losing farther-right conservatives.
Donors are already hoping to shower U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler with gratitude for breaking party ranks to speak against former President Donald Trump, according to one wealthy benefactor.
Meanwhile, it remains unclear how her constituents will respond, but at least one political expert believes Herrera Beutler’s independent streak is likely to strengthen her hold on Southwest Washington.
The representative from Battle Ground thrust herself into the national spotlight on Friday, when she further implicated Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 riot, corroborating a heated phone call between Trump and Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the House GOP leader.

McConnell still wants to be head of the Republican Party, but that Party doesn't exist anymore. He received over 4 percent less votes than Trump against a candidate thats only qualification was she served in the Marines and was progressive enough to get funded by the DNC. A lot of the state rank and file, including me, are unhappy about his recent actions and it will be remembered in his next primary run.

CPT Lawrence Cable - I have been on team "Ditch Mitch" ever since he decided to ignore the Constitution and prevent even a hearing on Merrick Garland. And I live in Kentucky...

SFC Casey O'Mally I think he is one of the smartest in the Senate, but I would support any non Progressive candidate that would run aen geainst him. But we get Ryder or Mcgrath. Jim Gray would have been a better choice

Personally I don’t like the raising of funds outside of the politicians constituency base in the district they represent.

Super. Based on that, Trump wouldn't have raised enough money in NY to finance a run for dogcatcher.

PO2 Harold Ashton - he was running for President and that means his constituents would be all of the US, not just New York.

PO1 H Gene Lawrence - I repeat what I said. He was a carpetbagger you local-yokels took in.

PO2 Harold Ashton - and I will repeat what I wrote. He was running for POTUS and therefore could raise funds from all over the USA, as far as the issue goes. I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say, “ you local-yokels took in.” Are you saying you’re not from the US?
