Vince Fong Wins Special Election for McCarthy's Former Congressional Seat

Fong, endorsed by Trump and McCarthy, secures victory over Mike Boudreaux in California's 20th District.

Fong will complete McCarthy's term, ending in January, before contesting for a full term in November.
The race was seen as a test of Trump's influence, with both candidates being Republicans.
Fong's campaign benefited from significant financial backing and endorsements from key GOP figures.
The victory slightly increases the Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
McCarthy's resignation and subsequent support for Fong played a crucial role in the election outcome.
