Trump-backed Republican Kevin Kiley has won his House race, bringing the total of House Republicans to 220.
This is great news for conservatives.
Every new win just solidifies the majority a little bit more. Republicans have to take every win they can get.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Trump-backed Republican wins in California, boosting House majority to 220 seats
Republican Kevin Kiley defeated Democratic challenger Kermit Jones to win California’s 3rd Congressional seat, raising the GOP’s House majority to 220 seats.
Kiley won the race with 52.8% compared to Jones’s 47.2%, with 84% of the vote counted. The Republican announced on Twitter last week that he had won the race, claiming that his win secured a House majority for Republicans before it was officially called.
In another GOP win for California, Rep. David Valadao (R) will once again represent the state’s 22nd Congressional District after defeating Assemblyman Rudy Salas (D) on Monday night.
Three House races remain uncalled: California’s 13th Congressional District, Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, and Alaska’s at-large House seat.
Kiley, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, was one of the former president’s few successes in the 2022 midterm elections. Several Republican leaders, who were expecting a red wave, blamed Trump for their less-than-expected outcomes after the party failed to flip the Senate or win the House majority by as wide of a margin as projected.
The California Republican received a lot of support after targeting the country’s rising crime and inflation rates, a campaign platform used by many Republicans to sway voters.
Good going, Kevin!!
Over two weeks since the election and only 84% of the votes have been counted in a single congressional district.
No wonder people have dwindling faith in our election system.
Now, Kevin, don’t blow it. Use you majority well and don’t RINO it!
Vote harvesters got mugged. They’ll demand a recount.

Complete Utter Horsesh*t!
Looking at the House of Representatives, the former president officially endorsed 174 of the 430 Republican candidates.
Of these 174 endorsements, 159, now 160, of Trump’s chosen candidates emerged victorious.
The 15, now 14, who did not win have been played up nonstop in the liar media, so much so one would be persuaded to think Trump’s endorsement was a kiss of death.
But of the 14, more than half were victims of election rigging and are fighting back against it. The 14 number will very likely decrease.
And if there would have been a red wave these same Rs would have said the win had nothing to do with Trump. He'll never get any fairness from those that hate him.
It’s just insane how long it took. No excuse.
Great news. Too bad they can’t count votes faster. It’s a sham and designed to demoralize Republicans and/or steal elections. States that do that crap are no better than third-world hellholes, Pennsylvania included.
More thanks to give, and in enemy territory!
Without reading the AZ Constitution is there really any hope of a re-election? And what happens if Maricopa is deigned to be a uncertifiable? I suppose lawsuits all the way to the USSC. I suspect the Supremes would kick it back to the AZ legislature since with their Roe ruling, they are now backing the 9th and 10th Amendments regarding States' rights.
In 20 the AZ SC proved to be the dead end to do anything about the stolen election. Hobbs being the SOS stayed in the basement and planned the sabotage of the machines on Election Day. She knew she had nothing to worry about because Lake’s case would die at the AZ SC. That is the way it looks to me.
Okay. However, this time around there is more proof of fraud and tabulator/printer tampering and thousands being turned away from the polls, and conflict of interest with Governor candidate Hobbs being SOS that oversees elections. Plus, 4 counties are delaying certification. This is a much bigger deal. I don’t believe this will be swept under the table.
Yippee Skippy. 220.
I endorsed all the Republican incumbents. I have a 98%+ winning rate.
“It’s just insane how long it took. No excuse.”
The reason it takes so long to count the votes is because the system is designed to take a long time.
The system was designed by corrupt politicians. The reason it was designed to take a long time to count the votes is because that way is the politicians want it.
Who benefits from the long vote count system planned and implemented by corrupt politicians?
I sure hope you are right the AZ Governor race was the single most important one in the country and the brazen theft of it was something to behold.
Trump endorsed 254 candidates.
Some of them lost, 32 of them.
Some of them were what we'd call RINOs, 17 (or so) of them.
Over 200 people he endorsed won.
We took Control of the House, and will probably wind up
with about the same margin of majority the Democrats had
in the current two year term. Nobody talked about that
endlessly. It was played up as a positive thing. Why
is it considered negative now? We control the purse
strings and all committee appointments and the issues
those committees will address.
The endless House investigations of Trump will end in a
little over a month.
No, we didn't wind up with as big a margin as we had hoped.
Instead we wound up by replacing and getting people through
who are more Conservative.
When you do that, you stand a chance of not getting as
many candidates through, but it's what you have to do
to move toward a more Conservative government.
Kevin Kiley is the real deal. So happy he won.
