According to 538’s modeling, the odds that Dems hold the House, if Dems Christy Smith (CA-27) and Rudy Salas (CA-22): Both win — 52% Both lose — 3% CA-22 and CA-27 are two of House Dems best pickup opportunities in the nation, and might literally decide control of Congress.

CA legislature big board: Democrats have at least 31/40 senate seats and 62/80 assembly seats locked down. Democrats have held the supermajority as expected — just a matter of how many more seats they will flip.

Hoping to god Nancy Pelosi’s final act is ensuring a CA DCCC Chief in 2024. The House can be won back in 2024 just through CA alone.

CA’s 10th largest city, Anaheim, has been flipped by Democrats. Ashleigh Aitken will be the next Mayor. OC Dems have had a ton of success in downballot races this year. However, there is a majority of Disney-backed members on the Council that will surely clash with the Mayor.

CA-41 is about as pure a tossup as well see in 2024. Democrat Will Rollins basically split the independent vote but he only got R+4 turnout in a district that has D+1 registration DCCC is already signaling they will prioritize this race after spending nothing on it this cycle

Finally have CA primary voter roll data: 1) Dem turnout was absolutely terrible 2) Democrats still have a very clear path to flipping 4 seats and making Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker of the House CA41 is probably going to be one of the closest races in the entire country!

Wow, the DCCC is going all in for Rudy Salas in CA-22. They reserved $4 million in TV ads in the Central Valley on Friday. They must have some pretty solid internal polling. For what it's worth, I definitely think Salas can win. He just needs to turn out Latino Dems in Nov.

To give you a sense of how many Dem ballots are outstanding in LA: Here's the current governor vote in two swing districts: AD-40: R+4 (was D+10 in 2018) CA-27: R+12 (was D+5 in 2018) There are *a ton* of Dem ballots to come in LA...

PPIC Poll of CA President: Biden (D) - 60% Trump (R) - 29% Latino voters: 60-27% Biden 18-44 voters: 67-26% Biden Central Valley: 53-33% Biden Very good poll for Biden and hard to square with recent national polling.

When Mike Garcia brags about opposing the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, he's bragging about opposing tens of billions of dollars in drought resiliency and wildfire prevention funds. CA-27 is one of the nation's most wildfire-prone districts.....

Early vote in Katie Porter’s CA-47: Dem - 39% Rep - 36% Other - 25% Way too early to make anything of 3,000 votes but that’s an electorate that has Porter up about 54-46.

🚨 A big deal: Democrats will take 4-1 control of the Riverside Board of Supervisors with three very strong labor-allied, Dem Sups! LA, Riverside, and San Diego Counties all have effective Dem majorities now. Will be interesting to see how they flex their muscle on the board.

CA-41 is literally a tossup. Ken Calvert isn't performing well with in person voting.

In a historic victory for OC Dems and equality, two members of the Orange Unified School Board have been successfully recalled over the board's adoption of a "forced outing" policy. The "Yes" vote won in large part because of big support in the City of Orange.

The OC GOP is facing a real and significant backlash after the Capitol insurrection. Republicans are shedding about 300 registered Republicans a day. Democrats are gaining more than independents too in the last week.
