In California, former state lawmaker and Democrat Adam Gray has defeated Republican Congressmember John Duarte to win the last outstanding House race of the 2024 election. Gray’s victory flips another House seat for Democrats, giving them 215 seats to Republicans’ 220 when the new Congress is sworn in on January 3. The slim Republican majority could become even more narrow, after President-elect Trump tapped two Republican congressmembers to serve in his administration and after Florida Representative Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress, putting an end to a House Ethics Committee probe over allegations that Gaetz was involved in the sex trafficking of an underage girl.
