David Valadao with just 41%. Analysts say this deficit, rare since California’s top-two primary system began in 2012, could be a death knell unless Valadao pulls off a historic comeback. His opponent, progressive Randy Villegas, beat the national Dems’ pick in a crowded field, and while Valadao’s fundraising edge is massive, Republicans are already targeting Villegas’ past use of “Latinx” and ambiguous votes. Still, history shows GOP comebacks are possible—this race is far from over and could reshape California’s political map come November.
