With Republicans' narrow control of Congress in jeopardy next year, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy emphasized border control and public safety on a visit to Orange County.
Several congressional contests in Southern California could determine whether Democrats win back control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Such messaging could be especially effective in traditionally Republican regions that voted for Democratic presidential candidates when Trump was the GOP nominee, said David Wasserman, a congressional forecaster for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which rates nine of the California’s 52 congressional districts as competitive in the 2024 election, the most of any state in the nation.
The event highlighting Orange County home invasions took place hours before McCarthy headlined a high-dollar fundraiser focused on protecting vulnerable California members of Congress, including Steel and Calvert. Donors contributed up to $100,000 to attend the gathering at the exclusive Pacific Club in Newport Beach, which was closed to news media.
Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer said the Chilean government has refused to provide criminal histories of their citizens who are entering the country under the program, making it difficult to prosecute members of the alleged crime ring he blamed for recent home invasions. McCarthy threatened to block money for the visa waiver program unless the Biden administration bars Chileans from entering the country through the visa program without a background check.
