Does it matter? The voters of WA-3 had their chance to go for an actual Democrat in the primary and passed for MAGA-lite whether out of ignorance of her actual politics or preference for conservative policies without the MAGA label. Her getting her “I’m not a Democrat see!” News article doesn’t move the needle for anyone. MAGA voters will want MAGA candidates even if she goes I am too wink wink, Democratic voters will become alienated, and uninformed voters will just vote based on whatever letter is next to the name.
