WASHINGTON _ California has at least half a dozen races to watch in this year's battle for control of the House of Representatives, and voters have a little more clarity on their choices following last week's primary election.
Democrats flipped seven GOP-held California districts in 2018, delivering a knockout punch that year to Republicans. Now, Democrats are fighting to hold onto those seats in traditional GOP turf like the San Joaquin Valley and Orange County.
While some Republicans outperformed their Democratic opponents in early primary election results, Democratic strategists expect higher turnout in November, when President Donald Trump will be up for reelection.
