Episode Details

In Spokane’s historically blue third legislative district, Republican Natalie Poulson stunned observers by winning the most votes in a House primary — a rare feat in a seat that’s been Democratic since the 1950s. With only one GOP House win in 60 years and just one Republican Senate vote since 1932, Poulson’s victory is historic, but she’ll need to overcome massive odds to win the general election. She narrowly edged out Democrats in a few key precincts, and without broadening her appeal beyond the GOP base — especially among independents and swing areas — her path to victory looks steep. Meanwhile, Washington’s top-two system reveals another twist: nearly 2,000 voters skipped a crowded congressional race, leaving candidates with untapped opportunities to sway undecideds — a missed chance that could cost them in tight contests.
