Republican David Valadao Flips Blue House Seat In CA; Third GOP Pick-Up Of Election In State
Republican House candidate David Valdao (R-CA) has defeated Congressman TJ Cox (D-CA), flipping California’s 21st congressional district from blue to red, reports the Associated Press.
The Associated Press called the race on Friday morning after more than three weeks of uncertainty. Valdao, a former congressman who represented the district from 2013 to 2019, was defeated by Cox in the 2018 midterms, but has now become the third Republican to flip a California congressional district in the 2020 general election.
