I think this is a big move toward Kent. I’m cautiously hopeful he can pull ahead...
Here’s where the race stood before the latest update:
In results as of Tuesday evening, Herrera Beutler was in second place with 24.5% of the vote, behind Democratic challenger Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, who had nearly 32%. Joe Kent, the Trump-endorsed Republican challenger, trailed in third place with 20% of the vote.
Kent was down 4.5%. Now after going from 50% of votes counted to about 65%... he’s down 2.9%. This is a BIG move for just a 15% update..... keep your fingers crossed folks!
Joe Kent for WA-3

Update - we are making slow but steady progress, down 2.9pts from JHB. Yesterday was 5pts.
Estimates vary on how many votes remain to be counted (80k-90k ish).
Not sure if this will get updated again tonight, I think we are going until Friday, at least
