Special election for McCarthy seat advances to runoff

Republican State Legislator Vince Fong and Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux advanced to a May election in a California district, following the resignation of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Fong, endorsed by Donald Trump, and Boudreaux, also a Republican, are leading the race in the heavily conservative district, potentially indicating a proxy vote on Trump's influence.
The special election aims to fill the remainder of McCarthy's term, with the top-two finishers advancing to a final election if no candidate wins over 50% of the vote.
