Adam Gray, a former state lawmaker representing the Democratic party, defeated Republican incumbent John Duarte, flipping a seat in California's Central Valley. It was the final uncalled U.S. House race in California and means that Republicans will have an extremely slim majority in the lower chamber during the next Congress, potentially presenting some obstacles for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
The two candidates got 50% of the vote in California's 13th Congressional District, with Gray narrowly winning his bid with a little less than 200 votes. Duarte conceded the race shortly before The Associated Press called the race for Gray, according to campaign spokesman Duane Dichiara.
