A California legislator backed by former President Donald Trump and a sheriff who promises to harden the nation’s porous borders are facing off in a special U.S. House election. State Assembly member Vince Fong and Tulare County Sheriff are both Republicans. They are vying to to complete the remaining term of ousted former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

On Tuesday, March 19, 2024, Fong, a legislator backed by former President Donald Trump and a sheriff who promises to harden the nation’s porous borders will face off in a special U.S. House election.

McCarthy’s dramatic fall in the House — he is the only speaker in history to be voted out of the job — left behind a messy race to succeed him that has included an ongoing lawsuit and exposed rivalries within the GOP. With nine names on the ballot, it appears unlikely any candidate will surpass that threshold to claim the seat outright Tuesday. Democrats on the ballot include public schoolteacher Marisa Wood, who also sought the full term.
“This is an unusual process,” Fong adviser Ryan Gardiner said. Given the circumstances, the campaign just kept operating after the primary, he said.
