In California, Democrats are hopeful they’ve avoided the potential nightmare of being locked out of winnable House races due to the state’s unique primary system that allows the top two candidates of any party to advance.
Still, some of those races remained too close to call Wednesday morning, with many more ballots to count.
Democrat Gil Cisneros will face Republican Young Kim in California’s 39th District, one of several competitive seats in Orange County, a crucial battleground in November’s midterm elections, CNN projects.
In retiring Rep. Darrell Issa’s 49th District, CNN projects that one Democrat will advance — though it’s still a tight three-way race to see which Democrat that will be.

Those developments were a relief for Democrats, who spent months trying to winnow their larger-than-ever pools of candidates due to California’s “jungle” primary.
