California Republicans may be on the verge of something they haven’t done in more than two decades: capturing a congressional seat from Democrats in the nation’s most populous state.
Tuesday’s special election runoff in the Los Angeles suburbs, which is taking place because of former Rep. Katie Hill's resignation last year, has Democrats bracing for defeat in a district they flipped by 9 points in the 2018 midterms. Armed with a highly touted recruit and an older, less diverse electorate than in general elections, Republicans feel they are on the verge of an upset.
Private polls show the race in the state’s 25th District is within just a few points, and Democrats are already downplaying expectations for their nominee, state Assemblywoman Christy Smith, citing depressed turnout in the midst of a pandemic and the negative impact of the scandal surrounding Hill, who resigned amid allegations that she had inappropriate sexual relationships with staffers.

It would take a miracle, but so did the election of President Trump.
They’ll get it back with mail in voting
I think Democrats have been working hard to lose swing districts.
Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
I hope for the best. Christy Smith is using the exact same playbook as Katie Hill did. Wholesome, family oriented wife and mom volunteering for all the right causes.
I am confident that the Republican will win, and then lose two weeks later.
Wow, so it isn’t all male politicians having affairs with staffers.
Mail voting. Democrat will win that seat by 20,000,000+ votes.
Nawh...they’ll harvest enough ballots to ensure no Pubbies will win office.

lol yes our not so old friend ballot harvesting
Yeah they stay Patriots for about six days before they become Republicans in name only. How many times has that trick been pulled on us.
the deep State either ensnares them or have something from their past.
We need people with impeccable pasts and impeccable restraint. Not easy to find.
I know it leaves me out :-)
....until they find that box of ballots in the back of a 1994 Mercury Sable one of the election cheats has stored. Surprise win!
I feel sorry for some still in CA. Some of those folks think there is still some hope the state might go back to what it once was. Unfortunately, it’s not going to happen and as long as the leftist are in the clear majority. It will only get worse and worse just as it has for decades now. It just got worse and worse in every direction.
You know, there is nothing stopping the GOP from ballot harvesting either. Ballot harvesting is legal in Kalifornia. It’s a travesty that only one side was doing it in 2018.
The ‘RATS will likely win it back in November’s MASSIVE MAIL VOTE HARVESTING FRAUD that they are prepping for under Governor Newsom’s direction.
We had one like that in Dave Brat.
Both parties teamed up to replace him with a CIA drone in a D dress.
This is MY district I am for damn sure going to vote for Mike Garcia. The idiot drone RAT that is running is Katie Hill 2.0.
YES the GOP WILL carry this seat.
Sen Mike a few bux and help him beat this LIEberal like a rented mule!
Make America Great Again, Again!
“It would take a miracle, but so did the election of President Trump.”
Newsom did an Executive Order that does not permit miracles in Kali.
Remember one of the things Kali has invented is Vote Harvesting. A Dim will win
