Derek Tran’s lead over Michelle Steel grows, again, by a few dozen votes. Experts say turnout and race are key factors.

As the tip of the spear for Democrats nationally, California pushes the party to the left. President-elect Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election suggests the party — and California leaders — may be too out of touch with the American people.

Democrat Derek Tran has taken the lead over GOP Rep. Michelle Steel in California's 45th Congressional District with 6% of the vote still uncounted two weeks after the election.

The closest House race in the nation is in Southern California, where Representative Michelle Steel is trailing her challenger, Derek Tran, by a tiny margin after nearly 310,000 votes have been counted.

As of late Tuesday, an estimated 570,500 ballots statewide were yet to be counted, according to the Secretary of State’s office.

More than 11 days after polls closed around the nation and Donald Trump was declared president-elect of the United States, California is still moving methodically through roughly 800,000 uncounted ballots that are holding up final tallies in several contests.

Democratic Rep. Jim Costa was re-elected to serve another term in California's 21st Congressional District after over a week of counting ballots.

Rep. Josh Harder, D-Tracy, defeated his Republican challenger in California’s 9th Congressional District, the Associated Press projected. Harder, a member of Congress since 2019, faced Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln in a race that analysts predicted could become close.

Democratic Rep. Josh Harder won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing California on Friday, defeating Republican Kevin Lincoln.

Republicans have retained the House majority, but this race, along with two others that remain too close to call, will determine how narrow it is.
