press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that progressive challenger Jamie McLeod-Skinner beat out Biden-backed incumbent Rep. Kurt Schrader in the primary because McLeod-Skinner was so supportive of the president. Schrader, whose opponent dubbed 'Joe Manchin of the House' for his moderation and emphasis on deal-making, was one of the only candidates whose race Biden endorsed in the midterm election cycle. With roughly 53 percent of precincts reporting in Oregon's 5th District, McLeod-Skinner led with 61 percent of the vote.
