New Gerrymandered CA Congressional District Will Remain In GOP Hands

According to Decision Desk HQ results, Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) led the field with 35.68% of the vote.

Young Kim (R-Calif.) finished second with 21.12%, positioning the two Republicans for a head-to-head matchup in November.

The unusual contest emerged after mid-decade redistricting placed Calvert and Kim within the same congressional district, forcing two incumbent Republicans onto the same ballot. The redrawn map has remained controversial, with Republicans arguing that California’s district lines already heavily favor Democrats and that additional redistricting further entrenched those advantages.
