(VANCOUVER, Wash.) – The 3rd Congressional District in southwest Washington has long been GOP stronghold. But in the Trump era, its voters have shifted left. MAGA Republicans ousted longtime Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler after her vote to impeach Donald Trump, paving the way for Democrat Marie Glusenkamp Perez to win in 2022 and 2024. However, her opponent in both elections was a deeply flawed candidate. Now, State Senate minority leader John Braun has entered the race, bringing the experience and gravitas that was missing in the last two cycles. Will he be able to flip the seat in what’s expected to be a strong Democratic year?
PLUS: President Trump deploys American troops on American soil, potentially using them against American citizens.
AND: The latest on Grindergate.
Guests include State Senator John Braun (R-Centralia), former FBI Special Agent Brad Garrett, Capitol Hill correspondent Allie Pecorin, and producer Zach Wildfang.
