.realDonaldTrump-backed Republican wins in California, boosting House majority to 220 seats
Kiley won the race with 52.8% compared to Jones's 47.2%, with 84% of the vote counted. The Republican announced on Twitter last week that he had won the race, claiming that his win secured a House majority for Republicans before it was officially called.In another GOP win for California, Rep. David Valadao will once again represent the state's 22nd Congressional District after defeating Assemblyman Rudy Salas on Monday night.
Kiley, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, was one of the former president's few successes in the 2022 midterm elections. Several Republican leaders, who were expecting a red wave, blamed Trump for their less-than-expected outcomes after the party failed to flip the Senate or win the House majority by as wide of a margin as projected.
"Voters in the 3rd district chose Kevin Kiley because they wanted a proven conservative reformer who will go to work immediately to fight inflation, rebuild the economy and hold government officials and agencies accountable," Dave Gilliard, Kiley's general consultant, said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
