2 prominent California congressional races will test Democrats’ redrawn US House map

- In other contests, San Diego City Councilwoman Marni von Wilpert will face Republican Jim Desmond, while state Sen. Scott Wiener and Supervisor Connie Chan advance to compete for retiring Rep. Nancy Pelosi's seat.
- California's 52 House races highlight a broader struggle as younger Democrats challenge veteran incumbents, reflecting national questions about whether moderates or liberals are better positioned to win swing districts.
