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 US House races (52). Most are reliably Democratic and a few have been reliably Republican. However, boundary changes mean that the only guaranteed Republican seat is now CA-40 (it has two Republican candidates running against each other and no Democrat or third party on the ballot). Although a number of other seats are Purple, in the vast majority of Blue seats there is no option to vote for a third party, so the only option in all those seats is to vote Democrat.
