Republican Ken Calvert defeats Young Kim to win US House seat in California Congressional race
Republican Rep. Ken Calvert won reelection to California’s 40th Congressional District after a competitive race against fellow GOP incumbent Young Kim.
Republican Ken Calvert secured victory in Monday's election for the U.S. House of Representatives, representing California's 40th Congressional District. He emerged triumphant over his Republican incumbent counterpart, Young Kim. This contest marked a unique scenario where two incumbents of the same party were vying for the same seat.
The district's boundaries were redrawn last year by California voters, a move that inadvertently placed both incumbents in the same district. The election was primarily centered around their stance on the MAGA agenda and their allegiance to the president. Calvert holds the distinction of being the longest-serving Republican in California's House delegation. The Associated Press officially announced Calvert as the winner at 9:31 p.m. EST.
