Republican Representative Vince Fong has successfully secured reelection for a seat in the U.S. House, representing California, as of Wednesday. This victory comes after Fong, who previously served in the state legislature, initially assumed his position in the House following a special election in May. He was elected to finish the term of the ousted former U.S. House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, whom he once worked for as an aide.

Fong received significant support from former President Donald Trump during his campaign. In the race for the 20th Congressional District, which is located in California’s Central Valley, he faced off against another Republican, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux. With his victory, Fong cemented his place in Congress. The announcement of his win was made at 12:17 a.m. EST.
