Will Democrats or Republicans win control of the House of Representatives in the Tuesday midterm election? The answer could be determined by just a handful of key races in California.
SAN FRANCISCO --"We have a situation in Congress where a flip of five districts will determine who controls Congress," Paul Mitchell, a political pollster and vice president of Political Data Inc, told ABC7 News. "So, California does have the ability to impact the house in these competitive districts.
"He has inherited one of the most gay, actively gay, cities in the country," Mitchell explained, "Where the city council, local elected leadership is all very progressive, especially on that one issue around gay rights." Arana said, because of that, Latino voters could be critical in determining the outcome of these races -- and, thus, the future of the House. "Depending how Latinos turn out to vote in this election, if they do at all," Arana said, "Latinos in California could ultimately decide who is in the majority come January 2023.
"If Democrats were to win both of those districts, and you plug those into the models, that would suggest that Democrats hold the House entirely," Mitchell explained. "That's how important that would be as a signal as to where the national mood is."As the election nears, Mitchell said Republicans appear to be gaining the advantage.
