“The outcome … should be of some concern to the Democrats, but that it’s not necessarily
a major victory for the Republicans,” said Louis DeSipio, a political science professor
at the University of California, Irvine. Mr. DeSipio said the district has been trending
blue, but said it is not surprising that Democrats struggled with turnout given it
is an off-cycle election and there is a pandemic. “The Republicans will certainly
get some short-term bragging rights,” he said. “The challenge that he and the Republicans
will face, however, is that he will need to win again in November with an electorate
that will likely be more Democratic.”
