In the recent election, a former Democratic state legislator won against the current Republican representative in California’s Central Valley. This victory marked the final House race of 2024 to be decided. This information was reported by The Associated Press.
Even though challenger Adam Gray won against incumbent U.S. Representative John Duarte, the Republicans will still have a slight majority in the House when the next Congress meets. The Republicans will hold 220 seats, compared to the Democrats’ 215.
Mr. Duarte, who was behind by 187 votes in an election with over 210,000 ballots cast, admitted defeat just before The A.P. announced the results, according to Duane Dichiara, a spokesperson for the campaign.
Before the deadline for counties in California to certify their results, Mr. Gray claimed victory on Tuesday.
Mr. Gray stated in a press release on X that the final results show that the district is in need of leadership that prioritizes the people of the Valley over political partisanship and is committed to being independent and accountable.
In the recent election, Mr. Gray, who previously served in the California State Assembly, won in the 13th Congressional District, overturning the 2022 results. Two years ago, Mr. Duarte had won by a very close margin in that House race.
