Because of Trump’s involvement, the race will be watched as a possible proxy vote on the former president’s clout as he heads toward an all-but-certain matchup against President Joe Biden in November. Turnout appeared to be light for the unusual May election, for which mail-in voting began last month.
There are 217 Republicans in the House, 213 Democrats and five vacancies, including McCarthy’s former seat. “California faces a crime crisis unlike any other in its history. That’s why I will be stepping up the fight for a safer Valley and safer California,” Boudreaux said.
