My reliabale left congressmen Jimmy Gomez is getting primaried by a whole new slate of candidates (perennial challenger, David Kim is bowing out). Who looks at the state of our country and thinks the best way to fix it is to spend their recourses unseating someone at the battle front? Looking at you Angela Gonzales-Torres. #CA34 https://prospect.org/politics/2025-09-04-squad-hopeful-gonzales-torres-los-angeles-ice-terror/

AIPAC is back spending big in races between Democrats.

In the weeks before Election Day, its super PAC has dropped $1.5 million for an AIPAC-endorsed Democrat in #CA34, facing a challenger who is calling to withhold foreign aid to Israel until a ceasefire is reached.

In our latest @sludge, I reached out to the campaigns and local groups including IfNotNow Los Angeles:

NEW: In its only general election spending, the United Democracy Project super PAC has spent $1.5 million in #CA34 for the AIPAC-endorsed Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D), facing challenger David Kim (D),.

The incumbent Gomez's campaign is also being backed by more than half a million in spending by the cryptocurrency industry.

Don't know what time it was at, but today the Associated Press called the race in #CA34 for Democrat Jimmy Gomez.

That leaves the following races uncalled:

Lean D: #AKatlarge

Lean R: #CA03 #CA13 #CA22 and #CO03

So far it's 218 Republicans and 212 Democrats.

Update 8am Fri Nov18 - Control of the US House.

Called races insure the GOP has majority of at least 218-217.

With called + lean races, the GOP has:

GOP 221-214

In the past 24 hours, 1 more race called, #CA47 (Porter) for D (does not change the expected outcome).

6 Races remain uncalled:

#CA03 #CA22 #CO03 (all lean GOP)
#AK01 #CA13 #CA34 (all lean Dem).
