California State Assembly member Vince Fong, a Bakersfield legislator, has won the special election to fill the vacant 20th Congressional District seat, previously held by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Fong, who was backed by former President Donald Trump, will serve out the remainder of McCarthy's term, which ends in January. The election, held on Tuesday night, saw Fong competing against Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux. The victory for Fong, a former McCarthy staffer, is expected to slightly widen the Republican majority in the House. McCarthy had endorsed Fong for the position, and the seat had been vacant for nearly five months. The district is located in California's Central Valley.
