California State Assemblymember Vince Fong won a special election Tuesday to complete the remainder of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s term. Former President Donald Trump endorsed Fong in February. McCarthy announced his resignation in December, two months after he was ousted as House Speaker.
In a statement Fong said, “I am filled with humility and gratitude tonight, as early results show that voters have overwhelmingly selected me to serve as their voice in Washington D.C.”
