Kansas Upheld Abortion Rights And Other Key Updates From The Aug. 2 Elections

It’s been a big night for nationally (in)famous Republicans seeking comebacks. Looks like Joe Arpaio is going the way of Eric Greitens rather than Kris Kobach.

Washington’s other House Republican who backed impeachment is also in a tight race. With about half the vote in from the 4th District, Dan Newhouse leads with 27 percent, just ahead of Doug White, the only Democrat running, who has 26 percent. Trump’s endorsee, Loren Culp, is in third with 22 percent. So it looks like it’s going to be close.

Washington’s 8th District is the state’s most competitive congressional seat. But it might be a while before we know which Republican will take on Democratic Rep. Kim Schrier in the fall. While Schrier is setting the pace with just under 50 percent of the vote, Matt Larkin, who ran for state attorney general in 2020, is in second with 16 percent, King County Councilor Reagan Dunn is right behind with 15 percent and Jesse Jensen, who ran for the 8th District in 2020, is in third with 13 percent. All are Republicans.
