BREAKING: California special election returns House seat to Republican for first time since 1998.
Just the News: The Republican candidate in the special election Tuesday for the California House seat vacated by ex-Democratic Rep. Katie Hill has won the race with over 56% of the vote.
The GOP candidate, former Navy combat pilot Mike Garcia, had earlier held a double-digit lead over state Assemblywoman Christy Smith.
The suburban Los Angeles seat came up for grabs when Hill resigned in 2019, amid allegations of an inappropriate relationship with at least one staffer. read more
That’s a nice lead, for California.
Officially or until the harvested ballots are counted?
Wow! I am shocked the dems were short of ballots in car trunks! Congratulations Mike Garcia!
Wow, are the dems running out of dead people that are willing to vote?
Hold on folks. Remember, the night before the election Harry Reid was down by 16 points. On election night he won by 16 points. That’s the bad news. Good news is that if the communists steal this election the Republicans will get mad enough to do something about democrat perfected voter fraud.
I’m waiting for a dumptruck load of Democrat lying
tongued shoes to drop to try to turn the results.
The media is claiming Trump jumped the gun when he called it for Garcia. No, he just put a spotlight on the vote fraud cockroaches trying to steal it from Garcia. We can see you, Dems.
Is it safe to say it’s a good start California?
Nope …6
So he really had like 70% of the vote once you take into account all the BS I’m sure they engaged in.
@Judge,
I am not convinced that irate Republicans would or even could do anything in Cali. Regardless, this is a victory, at least for now. Maybe California voters are starting, and I emphasize ‘starting’ because it will take a lot more work.
Go conservatives and #Winning
…still waiting for the punch line, Democrats have been known to say some pretty “Hil”arious things after apparent Republican victories, like “I’m the TRUE Governor of Georgia”, “I’m the REAL President because I won the POPULAR vote”, “Look, we found some unharvested minority votes in a car trunk that Republicans were trying to surpress, just enough to change the outcome, imagine that”, etc…
He should be a gracious winner and send Pelosi a big box of assorted ice cream and Biden a box of Keloggs Corn Pops
If I were superstitious (sometimes I am) I would hold off crowing because we could end up losing two seats somewhere else.
I just pulled up District 25 and as a life long Californian I can tell you I’m a little surprised that it went Democrat in the first place. It’s inland and fairly rural.
Wa state could erase that lead easy.
Could do it in one day also.
Just to be sure, are we certain that all the mail-in ballots have been counted? No last minute trunk loads to flip the result?
I expect the Dims to let this result stand to ‘prove’ that vote-by-mail is ‘fair’, then steal the seat back in November.
