As the November 5 elections approach, California is emerging as a pivotal battleground for control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is campaigning to regain four GOP-held seats in Southern California, emphasizing the state's importance in determining the House majority. Republicans, holding a tight majority, are also intensifying their efforts to maintain their seats, with significant races in Orange County and Riverside County. Former President Trump has been rallying GOP support in the state, labeling it a 'paradise lost' under Democratic leadership. While Democrats dominate statewide, recent trends indicate that they face tough challenges in swing districts, raising questions about voter turnout. Both parties are investing millions into these competitive races, highlighting California's critical role in the national electoral landscape.
