Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been actively campaigning in Southern California, targeting key communities in an effort to regain control of the U.S. House from Republicans. Despite California being a Democratic stronghold, recent elections have seen the party losing House seats to Republicans, resulting in a shift in power. Jeffries, poised to potentially become the next House speaker if Democrats win back the majority in November, is focusing on picking up four GOP-held seats to secure control.
California is a crucial state in this election cycle, with five GOP-held seats being targeted by Democrats, the highest number in any state across the nation. Jeffries emphasized the significance of California in determining the outcome of the House of Representatives control.
