This is a deep BLUE STATE that Biden won in 2020, Clinton won in 2016 and Harris won in 2024. There is no Senate race in 2026, but as the largest state in the Union, California has a huge number of House races. Boundary changes make predictions impossible for some seats, but the most contentious “purple” district is CA-22. Whereas CA-5, CA-20, CA-23 and CA-40 reliably Republican, all the remaining districts in California are reliably Democratic.
