Washington — CBS News projects the U.S. House special election in California's 20th congressional district will go to a runoff to fill the vacancy left by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Republican State Assembly member Vince Fong advanced to the runoff, which will take place in May.
Fong, who is vying to fill the vacancy left by McCarthy, has the former speaker's endorsement and the backing of former President Donald Trump. Among those challenging him is Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux.
It was still unclear who would emerge to face him in May's special election.
The solidly conservative district is all but certain to deliver the House another Republican. But how quickly that happens remains to be seen.
A candidate had to win more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff election. With no candidate projected to win a majority of the vote in the district, the top two candidates, regardless of party, will now move on to an election on May 21. The winner will serve until Jan. 3, 2025, or the remainder of McCarthy's House term.

So Fong and Boudroux will face off in May and then again in November. If Fong is elected in the special and then F's up by voting for Establishment crap (since he's McCarthy's protege), then he can be removed in November.
Does the “winner” get to room with Frank Luntz?
“solidly conservative district”
that elected RINO Kevin.
"Why are you stabbing President Trump in the back? You're a fake conservative."
Trump also enorse Romney, Main, Paul Ryan, Dr. Oz, and numerous other RINOs.
“It was still unclear who would emerge to face him in May’s special election.”
[I hope the people don’t vote for Fong. Trump was wrong to endorse him.
So Fong and Boudroux will face off in May and then again in November. If Fong is elected in the special and then F’s up by voting for Establishment crap (since he’s McCarthy’s protege), then he can be removed in November.]
We will get this Republican seat back in May. Won’t that give us back a 2 house seat lead (we are at one thanks to traitor Mike Gallagher leaving in April)?
Run off?
Ranked choice voting rides again???
“Fong, who is vying to fill the vacancy left by McCarthy, has the former speaker’s endorsement”
Not very promising, to say the least.
