Chapter 1: What potential congressional flips are discussed?
Did you hear that sound, folks? Flip. That's the sound of a potential flip from a Republican congressional district in California's 13th to a Democratic seat. It seems that Adam Gray is going to go on to win his race against John Duarte, Duarte is currently the incumbent Republican House member from California's 13th congressional district.
Chapter 2: How did Adam Gray perform in the California 13th district?
Now, we can't officially call it yet, but here is what went down. A whole new drop of ballots from Merced just dropped. And we're talking about for California's 13th congressional district, we're talking about the Central Valley area. in California. So a batch of ballots from Merced just dropped. Adam Gray beat his benchmarks big time, as Ethan C7 says, winning it by 13%.
Now with that, Gray, the Democrat, is now the new favorite to win California's 13th congressional district, and not a lot of people saw this coming. So now the incumbent Republican Congressman Duarte will need to straight up win in Stanislaus, which we don't think he's going to do to win reelection. As Robert Garcia, Congress member from California says, this is big.
Adam Gray just took the lead by over 100 votes, 100 votes. You see why your votes matter, folks? We are about to beat Congressman John Duarte in this congressional race. So get this, California is about to have three flips from Republican to Democrat while holding every Democratic seat. Let's go.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of Gray's lead for the House majority?
And there are big implications here because Donald Trump has nominated multiple Republican Congress members for his cabinet. So you had, for example, Elise Stefanik in New York, the ambassador to the UN. Matt Gaetz resigned his seat for child sex trafficking allegations. A bunch of others that Donald Trump nominated as
Aaron Parnas, who works for us here at the Midas Touch Network, writes, so if Adam Gray goes on to win California's 13th congressional district, Republicans will have a 220 to 215 House majority that will turn into a 217 to 215 House majority until the special election takes place. Because remember, You have Gates out and a number of other Republican Congress members out.
They are going to literally now get nothing done. That's why this was big. It was a shocking result that Merced dropped like that in favor of Gray. More MAGA chaos, but they're really going to struggle. They have to have... complete unanimity now, and there's no way the Republicans are going to be able to do that.
Dave Wasserman also says Adam Gray overtakes California's 13th over Representative John Duarte by 105 votes in the new Merced ballot drop. Still way too close to call with a few thousand left, but this is a huge development for Democrats. Now,
Chapter 4: Which other California districts flipped to Democrats?
You know, we previously called here on the Midas Touch Network, the 45th congressional district in California, flipping to Democrat as Derek Tran declared victory. Again, we're talking about within just a hundreds of votes there. NBC reports, Derek Tran declares victory in California's 45th U.S. House district three weeks after election day.
Incumbent Republican Representative Michelle Steele and Democratic challenger Derek Tran have been locked in a close contest for the district representing parts of Orange and Los Angeles counties. Democratic challenger Derek Tran declared victory on Monday, just happened, over incumbent Representative Michelle Steele in this competitive Southern California US House race.
Tran's declaration in the close contest for the 45th House District came nearly three weeks after election day. NBC News has not declared a winner in the race for the district that includes parts of Orange County and LA County. This is a victory and a testament to the spirit and resilience of our community, Tran said in a statement as the son of Vietnamese refugees.
i understand firsthand the journey and sacrifices many families in our district have made for a better life my parents came to this country to escape oppression and pursue the american dream and their story reflects the journey of so many here in southern california Just take a look. We're talking about very, very, very close race there. And then you turn to California's 27th district.
This was called much earlier, but you have George Whiteside, one of the NASA executives, flipped California's 27th district blue. They took that seat from a real bad dude, Representative Mike Garcia. This was a Los Angeles House seat. who had Mike Garcia, who was really all MAGA all the time and pushing some of the most extreme Trump policies.
And just as someone who lives in Los Angeles, that's not my congressional district in L.A., but to have someone like Mike Garcia in the surrounding L.A. area was really a stain on our country. uh all of los angeles but again those are the three house seats that flipped and as aaron partners said this is big because with donald trump's picks
We're not gonna have special elections with Donald Trump's cabinet picks. We're not gonna have special elections now, really, until like April. So it's gonna be basically like just a two-seat lead, very, very, very narrow. Let me just share this with you as well so you have a sense of how Adam Gray works. ran this campaign against John Duarte.
Maybe it's instructive, maybe it isn't instructive for how Democrats win, but it's worth sharing because this was a flip. And when we see flips, I think it's important to reflect that we may see some commonalities here in how these campaigns are being run. So one of the things that Adam Gray ran on is highlighting the support he received from people who work in law enforcement.
This is one of the main campaign messages he put out, and this was very effective in California's 13th. Here, play this clip. A lot of guys talk tough on crime, but there's one guy actually doing something about it, Adam Gray.
