In a surprise upset, Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez just defeated Trump-backed candidate Joe Kent in Washington state’s 3rd Congressional District — a seat few saw as competitive.

There are approximately 12,000 votes yet to to be counted in the district, but the Associated Press determined that they are not enough to change the outcome for Kent., whose vote to impeach the former president drew a litany of pro-Trump challengers in the state’s open primary — including Kent, who edged out Herrera Beutler.
