US House races

In what seems highly suspicious by many, including GOP leaders, the Democrats have been “wining” back House seats by slow-counting election results that seem more about making fake votes to deliver Dem wins than any actual real vote-counting. The Dems might be able to turn the GOP’s 4 plus seat majority to a one-seat majority.

Democratic challenger Derek Tran unseated Republican incumbent Rep. Michelle Steel in California’s 45th congressional district on Thursday, narrowing the GOP’s already slim House majority.

Tran defeated Steel by fewer than 600 votes, making this one of the closest House races in the 2024 election cycle. Republicans now hold 220 seats while Democrats have 214 seats.

California’s 45th congressional district was also one of 19 House districts that President Joe Biden won in 2020 and that had a Republican incumbent in 2024.

“From the moment I came to the United States, I knew that giving back to the country that welcomed me with open arms would be part of my future,” Steel said in a Thursday post on X. “Because of the opportunities offered by this great country, and God’s great blessings, I was able to go to college, start a family, and build my own American Dream.”

The Republican National Committee (RNC) is suing several states over the late counting of mail-in ballots that is still ongoing weeks after Election Day.

The lawsuit includes California, which has not certified all its races nearly four weeks after the election, Fox News reported.

The Golden State is counting its ballots at a snail’s pace in part because of the choice of many citizens to vote by mail.

The state said these ballots must be verified individually, explaining the long delay.

However, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley believes this is “absurd” as pivotal races remain uncalled.
