Republicans accuse Democrats of trying to steal cliffhanger California special election
Republicans in California could potentially pull off a feat that's rarely seen in this day and age, and that's to flip a Congressional district from blue to red in the Sunshine State. The 25th District is close in private polls for a special election to fill the vacated seat of former Rep. Katie Hill, but not a foregone conclusion in the long run for Democrats.
"We don't underestimate how much of a Republican-leaning district this could be in May, but that will be a different electorate in November," Rep. Pete Aguilar said on politico.com."We don't get in this to lose a race, but I do think that in November, Christy will be successful." This energy comes despite Hillary Clinton winning the suburbs north of Los Angeles in 2016 and current president Donald Trump trailing Democratic opponents in most polls heading into the 2020 presidential election.
"It is not a unique district. It is similar to many of the districts that we won in the fall," a Democratic consultant told Politico.com."This was an anti-Trump response district, and if we're ebbing in those districts we need to find out why. We can't just brush it off."
