Nearly a full month after the Nov. 5 election, Democrat Adam Gray on Tuesday night was declared the winner over Republican incumbent Rep. John Duarte in the race for California's District 13 House seat.
Gray's reported win, by less than 200 votes according to The Associated Press, leaves Republicans currently with 220 seats, compared to 215 for Democrats in the House of Representatives.
Reps. Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz of Florida and Elise Stefanik of New York, who all won re-election, will not be seated in the 119th Congress in January, leaving the GOP's margin until special elections are held to fill those seats at 217-215.
Gaetz resigned his seat after being selected by President-elect Donald Trump for attorney general. Gaetz, though, withdrew from consideration and said he will not be a member of Congress this January.
Waltz was chosen to be Trump's national security adviser.
Stefanik was selected by Trump to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has scheduled the special election to fill the Gaetz and Waltz seats for April 1.
New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul has not selected a special election date to fill Stefanik's seat.
Republicans are expected to win all three special elections.
Gray had been trailing behind Duarte for the entirety of the election … until the evening of Nov. 26.
Gray took the lead over Duarte after Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Christine Pelosi, and other Democrats “cured” ballots, The Gateway Pundit reported.
“President Trump’s Justice Department needs to investigate California’s election,” Cristina Laila wrote for The Gateway Pundit.
