Democratic Rep. Katie Porter is seeking reelection for the seat newly reconfigured due to redistricting. In November, she'll face former Assemblyman Scott Baugh, an attorney who led his party's caucus in Sacramento in the late 1990s.
But shifting demographics and California's deep-blue nature have changed that considerably. In 2016, Hillary Clinton was the first presidential candidate to win Orange County since 1936. President Joe Biden built on that Democratic advantage four years later. And the area's congressional district is now split between the parties, a far cry from the days of Republican dominance among its representation in Washington.
Baugh argued that Biden’s lagging approval ratings and voter concerns about inflation will drive Republicans to the polls in November, which will help his campaign even in a slightly Democratic district.
