California Republicans who flipped seats in 2024 are fighting to keep them
In 2024, California Republicans flipped three legislative seats amid a nationwide rightward shift that helped elect President Donald Trump.
Now, they must play defense.
Two of the seats they flipped in the state Assembly are up for reelection. Republicans are also fending off challenges in a few other purple districts.
Defending their seats will be a tall task: The president’s party almost always loses in downballot races during the midterms, and Trump’s approval rating has slipped.
