House Speaker Mike Johnson planned a California campaign swing to raise money and rally support for Republican congressional candidates. The trip comes as both parties view California races as important to control of the House.
Johnson planned stops in the Central Valley and Inland Empire, including events supporting Kevin Lincoln, David Valadao and Jim Desmond. The article reports that California’s district map was redrawn after voters approved Proposition 50, following Texas redistricting efforts backed by President Donald Trump. Forecaster David Wasserman said the redistricting fight could hurt Republicans’ chances of holding House seats.
A Republican campaign spokesman argued that California’s House races could determine control of Congress and praised several Republican candidates. A Democratic campaign spokeswoman criticized the candidates’ policies and Johnson’s role in supporting them. The article also reported that Trump sent a fundraising appeal focused on Democrats potentially winning control of Congress.
