7:01 pm
7:02 pm
for the house majority in 2024. >> let's start with california's third district, kevin kiley. >> this is probably among the seats that are competitive and republican held. one of the less competitive ones.
7:03 pm
he is a freshman congressman. this is a seat that trump won by a couple of points in 2020. depending w the presidential race plays out, it could be competitive.democrats have a strong candidate in jessica e.we have this as likely reblican>> moving on to california's 13th district, you have rated this as a tossup. explain. have four california districts. they are all held by republicans. a lot of folks that i have talked to think the 13th district could be the most vulnerable republican in california. he represents a seat that is in the central valley, contains parts of bakersfield. the democratic candidate last cycle came away from winning.
7:04 pm
democrats do have an inherent advantage republicans as the incumbent, he is going resources he did not have last cycle. in terms of the primary is not a competitive primary. adam gray is running again and he's the only democrat on the ballot anda matchup between them. >> let's talk about the open seats. this seatto the former speaker, kevin mccarthy. >> this is republican held open seat in california this cycle. also in the central valley in the bakersfield area. in terms of control of the house, not going to be competitive. it's interesting that it's open now that mccarthy has resigned. you have the regular primary happening on march then you have the special election primary happening two weeks later. in this race, the front runner
7:05 pm
is a state assemblyman and his mccarthy's longtime prote and once it was clear that mccarthy was not going to be returning for another term, he was thought of as the likely successor. he has a couple of opponents it looked like this competitive race initially. trump just endorsed fong. trump's endorsement is a game changer. i think he is the pretty clear front runner heading into this race. >> that's the 20th district. talk about the 22nd district. why should we watch this one? >> the 22nd district is probably messiest primaries in california along with the 47th district which is held by katie port. the 22nd district is very competitive. technically the most democratic leaning republican held seats in california right now.
7:06 pm
david valid day-o has cut out a fairly moderate profile. he was one of the 10 republicans who voted to impeach trump in 2021. was able to take in a lot of crossover votes. he does have a com race and the concern is that because he has a republican opponent on the ballot and democrats have two candidates, the democrats could get locked out of the general election. this is the case because has an open primary system where the top candidates regardless of what primary move into the general election. there's a good chance you could have two members of the same partyctually get into the general election. democrats have now spent over million boosting ray salas.
7:07 pm
he won't have any trouble getting into the general election and it will be another matchup. but this is a race democrats have had to spend a decent amount of money on just to make sure they actually have a candidate. >> moving on to california's 27th district. also a tossup. >> this is another perennially competitive race. it's held by mike who has had the same opponent for the last couple of cycles. democrats have a new recruit, george whiteside. he is the presumptive nominee. this is a to watch and whiteside is incredibly wealthy. formerly worked for nasa and now has a private spache has put a decent amount of well and has a cash on hand advantage over garcia athe moment. for this reason we rated
7:08 pm
as a tossup. >> likely republican. talk about the incumbent. >> this is an interesting race. it's held by congresswoman young kim who was electedthis is one of the few seats that biden won in 2020 but we have as likely r. we believe kim is the clear favoritethis is the sort of district that will tend to vote democratic at but also doesn't mind voting for republicans in other races. this is going to be an interesting race to watch. depending on how the presidential race plays o, it could become more competitive. for now i think kim is the vorite. >> what is her appeal? >> she is one of the korean american women in congress in a
7:09 pm
district with a really large aapi population. really take advantage of that and to establish her own brand in the district and she has also carved out a relatively more moderate lane and some of the other republe is still conservative on a lot of issues, protect early abortion. she has demonstrated crossover appeal. >> the 41st district. >> this is another really interesting race to watch. ken calvert has been a long member of congress since the 90's. but the seat changed a lot in the latest r it's mostly in riverside county. calvert has typically in these safe seats or he doesn't have to worry about serious democrat challengers.
7:10 pm
his latest opponent had strong democrats were excited about the fact that he's running again this cycle. the seat is more republican leaning that some ofsebecause democrats have such a strong candidaterepublican incumbent has a more long conative record compared to the other members of the delegation, democrats think this is one of their best opportunities of the cycle. >> the 45th district in california. >> it has one of the largest aapi populations in the countryit is inland to orange county and its represented by michelle steel who was elected in 2020 along ng kim as one of the first korean americans in congress. this is a bit more and it is in the lien republican
7:11 pm
category. this is going tomore competitive. do have a competitive primary and it will be interesting to see who comes out of that because a couple of the democrats running their have to raise money. a lot of democrats have lined up behind derek tran who has%h demonstrated stronger fundraising ability and could be a stronger candidate il election. the primary is quitelear front runner. >> -- california house republican seats. to follow her, you can go to >> thank you for having me on. >> californians will also be casting ballots on tuesday in one of the closest watched senate races of the year. the latest poll of the states likely voters has democratic congressman adam schiff at 28% followed by republican steve garvey.

7:14 pm
>> first of all, israel has a to defend itself. it was horribly attacked on october 7 andsee how there could be a lasting peace as long as a terrorist organization is governing gaza nor do i see how there that is true. israel must make every effort to avoid civilian casualties and we must get the parties to a two state solution. turning to ukraine, it has just lost a city they had gained in aireclthat was a terrible loss to ukraine and it was occasion to part because republicans in congress would not approve aid to ukraine which we should approve immediately and i'm calling on the president to seize russian assets to help fund ukraine war effort. we cannot abdicate that responsibility neither in the middle east nor in ukraine. >> the united states should be a .
7:15 pm
that's the touchstone that should guide our foreign policy and we should be shed -- centered on those values. it's important to recognize that this conflict in gaza, the result of the horrific ak hamas is one in which the parties to the conflict must lasting cease-fire fthe united states needs to support peace. we need to recognize the incredible humanitarian disaster unfoldind we need to be firm and clear to israel that we expect to be a champion for peace and democracy. important that we live our values this way and that wediplomacy. donald trump did terrible damage to our standing on theage, allowing iran and russia to grow in power and we are all paying for the consequences. >> flooding in the country believe we are overextended. we should focus on the mystic
