California voters are participating in a special primary election to determine candidates who will replace former U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell. The congressional district is heavily Democratic, and the outcome of this election could influence the balance of power in the U.S. House, where Democrats hold a narrow majority.
The special primary aims to narrow the field of candidates ahead of the general election. A Democratic victory would help maintain the party's current control in the House. Results are being reported as votes are counted across the district.
