Insane potential flip here in CA-23, which was drawn to be a Republican vote sink in California.
Tessa Lynn Hodge is within striking distance of Jay Obernolte with a lot of ballots remaining.

CA gerrymander, in response to TX, aimed to pack lots of MAGA areas into CA-23, making it super-safe GOP district and improving Dem chances elsewhere.
But w 63% counted, incumbent GOP Obernolte leading only 51.3%-48.7. We'll see.

this presents problems bc if, say, Mai Vang comes from behind to unseat Doris Matsui, or if Tessa Lynn Hodge pulls off a miracle and takes down Jay Obernolte, they will have missed crucial time to begin finding staff and DC living arrangements, including some official freshman orientation activities
