The law was codified in 1901 — and again in 1913, after Arizona gained statehood — and outlaws abortion from the moment of conception but includes an exception to save the woman’s life. Young Kim holds an early 4% lead over her challenger Asif Mahmood for the 40th District of the U.S. Heavy rain has caused considerable issues for the vote tallying process in Southern California, as detailed by Rick Montanez, who spoke with Los Angeles County Registrar Dean Logan. Chu first assumed office in 2009 after being elected the year prior. Despite falling behind early, incumbent Congressman Ken Calvert has overtaken Democrat Will Rollins in the race for the California's 41st District with the United States House of Representatives.
Speaker of the House: Rep. Mike Johnson
The sign from McCarthy’s tenure as speaker was removed last night after Johnson was selected as the GOP’s fourth speaker-designate. A new nameplate has been installed at the House speaker‘s office in the Capitol Building following the election of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). With House Speaker Mike Johnson‘s (R-LA) election, the House of Representatives is able to function legislatively as a possible government shutdown is weeks away. Following weeks of infighting and division, Republicans rallied around Johnson, electing him unanimously on the House floor.
More Election Results
The House is expected to reconvene for floor votes on Wednesday afternoon as Republicans seek to elect the next speaker, three weeks after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted from the position. Sen. Bob Casey, shortly after winning his uncontested primary, voted late Tuesday night to ban TikTok in the U.S. if it does not comply with a forced sale. The Democratic primary between State Rep. Amen Brown and progressive challenger Cass Green remained too close to call Wednesday, prolonging the drama in one of the most competitive Pennsylvania House races in Tuesday’s primary election. Organizers in the state are likely to succeed in placing a proposed constitutional amendment on the November ballot that would create a “fundamental right” to receive abortion care up until fetal viability, or about the 24th week of pregnancy. If voters approve the ballot measure, it would effectively undo the 1864 ban, which now remains law in the state. Despite the continued repeal efforts, voters are likely to have the power this November to decide on the future of abortion rights in the state themselves.
House Session
The contentious campaign led to a neck-and-neck race between Steel, the incumbent, and her competitor Jay Chen. House Republicans selected Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as their next speaker nominee, hoping to end the weekslong saga that has left the lower chamber at a standstill. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Mark Amodei (R-NV) both said they will support the Louisiana Republican during the floor vote at 12 p.m. After talking with him following the conference meeting last night. Trump had posted on Truth Social on Tuesday that voting for Emmer, who he described as “Globalist RINO,” would be a “tragic mistake.” Shortly after the post, Emmer bowed out of the speaker race, and Johnson was elected the Republican speaker nominee.

Speaker-designate Mike Johnson (R-LA) shared his plans to avert a government shutdown as the 45-day stopgap passed last month comes closer to expiring. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) is confident he’ll get the 217 votes needed to secure the speaker gavel during the first round of voting. Mace, who was once an ally of the former speaker, joined Democrats and seven other Republicans in voting to remove McCarthy from the House’s top job three weeks ago.
Tight race between candidates for 45th District
One day after tanking House Majority Whip Tom Emmer‘s (R-MN) bid to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as House speaker, former President Donald Trump expressed support for Rep. Mike Johnson‘s (R-LA) speaker bid but stopped short of endorsing him. He serves on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Armed Services Committee. If he wins the speakership, Johnson will be the least experienced presiding officer elected since Kentucky Rep. John Carlisle in 1883. The Louisiana Republican has come under fire for his stances in the aftermath of the 2020 election, which saw President Joe Biden defeat then-President Donald Trump. Johnson was the leader in organizing an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, challenging the electoral processes of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. I’m done with predictions,” McHenry said when asked if he thinks Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) can win the speakership.

The state Senate is likely to pass a repeal of the law, a source in Arizona familiar with the situation told NBC News. Once that happens, Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs is certain to sign the repeal quickly. All representatives serve until the end of the current Congress on Jan 3, 2025. California has two senators in the United States Senate and 52 representatives in the United States House of Representatives. For a third time, Mike Garcia is going up against Christy Smith, a former state Assemblywoman who Garcia defeated in a 2020 special election and then again in the 2020 general election. A rematch of the 2020 showdown, incumbent Democrat Mike Levin opens polling with a lead over his challenger, Brian Maryott.
House Speaker Election Coverage, Part 3
Johnson was elected 22 days after McCarthy was ousted from the speakership, in what proved to be a bitter three-week process for the House GOP. With nominees already essentially chosen for president — and not everyone is happy with them — and U.S. Senate and a general absence of passion, indications were that 70% or more of voters in the region and across the state decided this primary wasn’t worth their trouble. A primary election day that was wall-to-wall splendid around here with unimpeded sun and a generous ration of April warmth was absolutely perfect for voting. Janelle Stelson is projected to win the Democratic primary in... Republican Ryan Mackenzie is projected to win the GOP primary...
The redrawn 41st District opened polling in favor of Democrat Will Rollins over incumbent Ken Calvert, the longest-serving Republican, to represent Menifee, Corona and Palm Springs. Despite falling behind early, incumbent Republican Mike Garcia has gained the lead over his opponent Christy Smith for the 27th District of the U.S. The race for U.S House District 49 continues to trend in favor of Democrat Mike Levin, who holds a 14% lead over his Republican opponent.
Incumbent Rep. Katie Porter, famous for her attacks on the CEOs of massive corporations while armed with her "Whiteboard of Justice," jumped to a huge lead early on in the race against her competitor in attorney Scott Baugh. The 49th District represents San Clemente, Oceanside and Laguna Niguel, amongst other coastal areas. Looking toward November, California is looming increasingly important for which party will control the U.S.
Johnson’s swearing-in ceremony ends the 22-day period of the House being without an elected speaker after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted. Thank you for following along with the Washington Examiner’s live coverage of the House speaker election today, and be sure check back at for more coverage of Congress. Their primary victories were a foregone conclusion, but the closely contested general election will hinge on which of the deeply unpopular candidates can build a coalition in swing states like Pennsylvania. Now Mayor Cherelle L. Parker will have to figure out how to indemnify Registered Community Organizations (RCOs), after Philadelphia voters approved a ballot question Tuesday requiring the city to do so. Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) is projected to win the Democratic...
As polls near their close, the Los Angeles County Registrar is reporting a high amount of voters who turned out to cast their votes for the Midterm Elections. However, a redrawn district and an apparent swing in favor of a "red wave" throughout Orange County, Porter's lead has diminished to just a few thousands votes. (Don't worry — your address is not stored!) Note that your district may be different from what it was in the last election, thanks to our once-a-decade redistricting process. Rep. French Hill (R-AK), the only other Republican to vote present, has not made his stance on Johnson known. The Louisiana Republican can only lose four Republicans in the full House vote to be elected speaker. Two House Republicans who voted “present” during a roll-call vote of the House Republican Conference Tuesday night now say they will support Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA).
While Republicans hope to flip several seats now held by Democrats, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added five California districts to its targets. However, the Minnesota Republican’s speaker bid only lasted a couple of hours as fierce opposition to him began to materialize within the House Republican conference. After speaking with him this morning, I’m committed to vote for Mike Johnson when we go to the floor of the House. Johnson conceded that “another stopgap measure is needed to extend government funding” and suggested an extension until Jan. 15, 2024, or April 15, 2024.
The ban is likely to go into effect for a short period of time — even if the Senate passes it next week and Hobbs signs it shortly thereafter — because under Arizona law, repeals don't go into effect until 90 days after a legislative session concludes. Members of the state Senate, where Republicans also hold a narrow majority, voted last week in favor of a motion to introduce a bill that would repeal the abortion ban. Two Republicans joined every Democrat in the chamber on that vote. The AP has projected that Republican Young Kim will represent the state's 40th congressional district which includes Chino Hills, Anaheim and Mission Viejo. The House of Representatives has held a total of 19 voting rounds to fill the top job in the chamber this year. GOP speaker-designate Mike Johnson (R-LA) has seen the smoothest path to a victory thus far, as he appears to be on his way to holding the gavel after just one floor vote.
Johnson was the fourth House Republican to be nominated by the conference in the last three weeks, after House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) withdrew as the speaker-designate just hours after being nominated. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been elected House Republicans’ next speaker, following weeks of party infighting that left the GOP conference divided. Information about all receipts and expenditures of representatives, committees, leadership, and officers of the House. Progressive organizers mounted a campaign urging voters to write in “uncommitted” as a protest vote over Biden’s ongoing support to Israel in its monthslong war against Hamas that has claimed tens of thousands of Palestinian lives. The group known as Uncommitted PA hoped to send a message to Biden in a critical swing state he’ll need in November. The Democratic primary for the West Philadelphia-based 10th District of the Pennsylvania House was too close to call late Tuesday night, with State Rep. Amen Brown holding a narrow lead over progressive challenger Cass Green.
Information about the source, type, amount, or value of the incomes of representatives, officers, and candidates. The vote for Haley, whose name appeared on the ballot despite her campaign suspension, was strongest in southeastern Pennsylvania, with Montgomery County giving Haley nearly a quarter of the vote. Turnout was low Tuesday, but there was an increase of write-in votes against Joe Biden, who will face Donald Trump in the fall.
