California races could determine control of US House

FILE - Young Kim smiles outside her campaign office in Yorba Linda, Calif., Oct. 6, 2018. Kim is the favorite to win a second term in the Republican-leaning 40th District anchored in Orange County, where she is facing Democrat Asif Mahmood, a physician. Although Kim, who was born in South Korea, is the incumbent, she’s a new face to many voters in the redrawn district but its GOP tilt gives her an edge. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson, File)

FILE - Michelle Steel, Republican candidate for California's 48th Congressional District, speaks during the California GOP fall convention in Indian Wells, Calif., Sept. 7, 2019. The fight for the 47th District seat has evolved into a hostile confrontation between Steel, a South Korean immigrant looking for a second term in Congress, and Democrat Jay Chen, a Navy reservist and the son of immigrants from Taiwan.

U.S. Rep. Mike Garcia, R-Calif., participates in a ceremonial swearing-in on Capitol Hill in Washington, on May 19, 2020. Garcia faces a tougher challenge this year in his left-leaning district north of Los Angeles, after it was redrawn and became even more solidly Democratic. However, the former Navy fighter pilot has shown he can beat the odds. He twice defeated Democrat Christy Smith for the seat, who is on the ballot again for another rematch in the new district, the 27th. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)
