NEW: California's near-final draft map looks terrific for Dems. All 42 Dem incumbents (except retiring Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D), whose Long Beach seat is folded in w/ LA Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D)'s), get strong seats.
Meanwhile, *five* of 11 GOP seats get more vulnerable.

NEW: the first official draft map from California's commission is here, and it's both a major shakeup and a mixed bag for the parties. Early read: it could perform quite well for Rs in 2022, but offer longer-term upside for Dems. Read on... wedrawthelinesca.org/draft_maps
First read: this "starting point" map for the CA commission is decent for Rs. It eliminates a Dem seat in LA County (as expected) and imperils Harder (D) in #CA10, while leaving all incumbent 11 Rs w/ a path to victory (though Nunes & esp. Issa would face much tougher races).
Now that Kern and Ventura Counties have posted their full results, some quick takeaways from California's House races.

Interestingly, the conservative Ventura County portion of #CA25, which houses the Reagan Library, voted 49.4% /44.44% for Trump over Clinton in 2016, but narrowly went 48.93%/48.86% to Biden by 51 votes this year, while Mike Garcia carried it 54.23%/45.77%.
ELECTION UPDATE:
Friends, last night we made history. You helped us shatter previous turnout records for #CA04! Right now, Tom McClintock has a small lead across the district, but we're leading in Placer County - home to almost half of all registered voters in our district. 1/5

There are still tens of thousands of votes being processed by our county elections offices & many thousands more are on the way. This race isn't over & we're going to make sure every vote is counted. 2/5
We have come further than anyone thought possible together because of an extraordinary team of volunteers, donors and supporters who sought a different politics—rooted in bringing people together, setting partisanship aside and putting our community first. 3/5

New at @CookPolitical: House rating changes in 20 districts, all towards Democrats. I can’t recall the last time we moved so many races at once, let alone in the same direction.
More @CookPolitical: for the first time this cycle, Democrats have at least as good a chance of picking up House seats as Republicans on a net basis. cookpolitical.com/analysis/house…
(Here’s a graphic corrected for #WA03)
40 Republicans voted NO on the #FamiliesFirst #coronavirus relief bill.
17 of them have lone challengers ready to take them on in November. We at #DemCast have compiled that list for you.
🚨 Please share this thread and follow/support the Democratic challengers listed!

I’m getting a lot of this:
“I supported the blue wave and for what? Democrats aren’t living up to their end of the bargain.”
It’s time to dispel the myth that blue wave activism was a down payment on impeachment.
It was not. Zero seats flipped on an impeachment platform. /1

I get it. This is very frustrating and slow. It seems so obvious. And we expect people to lead on principle, not on politics.
Set aside your frustrations with Dem leadership for a moment and think back to the blue wave districts that flipped red to blue. /2

I interviewed and published a sizable chunk of Dems who flipped seats in 2018. I asked them explicitly about impeachment. They were across-the-board non-committal. That’s not what they ran on. They ran on healthcare. They ran on voting rights. They ran on the environment. /3
1. While #California numbers aren’t entirely in, let’s take a dive into Super Tuesday in terms of the strategies we employed at @DemsWork4USA and what the primary results mean for November.
2. We’re extremely proud of the results in #NewMexico and #Iowa where all our endorsed candidates won. We don’t always feature state legislature seats as with IA, but do so when we have strong candidates than will both build the bench and drive momentum at the top of the ticket.
3. In #NewJersey we won all but 1 of our endorsements. We realized that Tanzie Youngblood would not likely take the nomination, but she is well positioned for seeking a state legislative seat in the special election and bringing Jeff Van Drew along to a more progressive appeal.
