Tight California races emerge in fight for US House control

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — Partial returns Tuesday showed closely matched contests in a string of competitive California U.S. House races that will play into control of Congress next year. In a marquee race in Orange County, Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, a star of the party’s progressive wing, took an early double-digit lead but by midnight she and Republican Scott Baugh and were divided by less than a percentage point with nearly half the votes still to be uncounted. The stakes were spotlighted last week, when President Joe Biden traveled to Southern California to campaign on behalf of endangered Democratic Rep. Mike Levin, whose district straddles Orange and San Diego counties. Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, a national progressive star, faced Republican Scott Baugh, a former state legislative leader and past head of the county GOP, in the 47th District that includes Huntington Beach and swaths of suburban terrain. IN CHALLENGING YEAR FOR DEMOCRATS, GOP TARGETS DISTRICT ON CALIFORNIA COAST Democratic Rep. Mike Levin carried his election two years ago by 6 points.
