Trump helps two Washington congressional candidates make final pitch to voters

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday helped Joe Kent make his closing argument to voters in a nationally watched congressional race in southwest Washington.

After three of his own campaign rallies, Trump joined Kent in an evening telephone town hall to voice support for the Republican dueling Democratic U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in the 3rd Congressional District. The race is one of a handful that will decide which party controls the U.S. House. Gluesenkamp Perez beat Kent by roughly 2,600 votes in the 2022 election.

“Joe will be by my side, that I can tell you,” said Trump, who described Gluesenkamp Perez as a “basic disaster.”

Also Tuesday, Trump posted on social media his “complete and total endorsement” for Republican Jerrod Sessler, who is trying to unseat five-term incumbent Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse in the 4th Congressional District in central Washington.
