The Democratic Party had feared disaster in California, where a quirky “jungle primary” gives the November ballot to the top two finishers, regardless of party. But Democratic contenders there leveraged financial and strategic help from the national party to weather the winnowing primary, and ensure that they will field candidates in multiple districts that they will most likely need if they are to win control in November. “Even though Democrats had to spend a few million dollars, crisis averted,” said Nathan Gonzales, a veteran House race handicapper and the editor of the Inside Elections newsletter. Republicans avoided their own worst-case scenario as well, securing a spot in the California governor’s race, which should help bring G.O.P. voters to the polls this fall to vote for their party’s House candidates. Republicans missed a slot on the ballot to challenge Senator Dianne Feinstein’s re-election bid, but a shutout in both California’s Senate race and its contest for governor could have severely depressed conservative turnout.<doc-sep>Democrats are hoping anger with the Trump administration will drive Latino voters to the polls across the country for this November’s midterm elections and blunt the Republican president’s agenda. So how did that work out in California’s primary election, in a state where Latinos are the largest demographic group? While Tuesday’s results were disappointing for some of the state’s most prominent Latino politicians, five Latino candidates for statewide office all advanced to the runoff in November — a first. “That’s historic,” said Fernando J. Guerra, political science professor at Loyola Marymount University. “There’s never been five viable Latino candidates on the November ballot statewide, ever.” Ed Hernandez, the runner-up in Tuesday’s primary for lieutenant governor, will face fellow Democrat Eleni Kounalakis. Secretary of State Alex Padilla, also a Democrat, will face Mark P. Meuser, the Republican runner-up challenger. Appointed Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who fended off fellow Democrat Dave Jones, will face Republican runner-up Steven C Bailey. Democrat Ricardo Lara will compete against front-runner Steve Poizner, who claims no party affiliation, for insurance commissioner. And while state Sen. Kevin de León limped toward the November runoff far behind Dianne Feinstein, he secured the second spot in a crowded field to bring his progressive agenda to the race for U.S. Senate. The one major Latino candidate left behind: Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa lost his bid for the November runoff in the governor’s race to fellow Democrat Gavin Newsom and Republican John Cox. It’s too early to say how large Latino voter turnout was for the primary — mail-in ballots were still arriving to be counted Friday. Analysts who study turnout demographics say they won’t have solid statewide data for a month or so. Overall statewide turnout in the June primary appears unimpressive based on available returns. The Secretary of State’s office was reporting estimated turnout at 22.7 percent by the end of the week, slightly less than the 25.14 percent in 2014, the last primary election for governor. Turnout in some big counties with large Latino populations was reported even lower. It was 18 percent in Los Angeles, home base for both Villaraigosa and de León. Political Data Inc., which analyzes election data, won’t have a good picture of statewide voting patterns for another 40 days or so after county elections officials certify results, said the firm’s vice president Paul Mitchell. Latino voters are seen as key to Democrats’ hopes of retaking the Republican-led House of Representatives in the November midterm election. To many Latinos, the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement sweeps and calls for a border wall evoke California’s Proposition 187. Pushed by former Republican Gov. Pete Wilson and approved overwhelmingly in 1994 at a time when Latinos were about a fourth of California’s population, Prop 187 sought to deny public services to illegal immigrants. Critics saw it as targeting Latinos. Blocked by the courts, it inspired a generation of young Latinos such as de León to political activism and has been blamed for the Republican party’s California swoon. About four in 10 Californians today are Latino, slightly more than the share of whites. Republicans haven’t won statewide office since 2006, and GOP registration dipped below “no party preference” for the first time this year. “The question going into the primary is whether hostility toward Trump could motivate Latino voters to turn out at presidential-year levels or the smaller numbers that have been the case in past midterm elections,” said Dan Schnur, who teaches politics at the University of Southern California and UC Berkeley. “The answer is somewhere in between,” said Schnur, who has worked for Arizona Sen. John McCain and for former Gov. Wilson. “General election turnout is always higher than primaries, so these numbers should increase in November. But the Democratic base will have to become much more motivated to produce the type of ‘blue wave’ they have been predicting.” Matt A. Barreto, political science professor at UCLA, said there were encouraging signs for the Latino primary vote in Los Angeles. An analysis by the Latino Policy and Politics Institute at UCLA showed the Latino vote increased more than any other demographic in Los Angeles County from June 2014 to June 2018. He said nearly all Latino precincts had more than a 100 percent increase in ballots cast, much higher than the countywide average. “There’s no question that the Trump and Sessions immigration policy and rhetoric has really angered Latinos,” Barreto said, “and you’re seeing a response.” Related Articles Social spending, business tax hike drive $6 trillion Biden budget AP: Racism, discrimination permeate the US military Letters: Safe schools | Prevent A’s tragedy | No foresight | Tax changes | Location data British PM defends COVID record after former aide’s attack Letters: No foresight | Critical look | Ban assault weapons | Overstating footprint | Witch hunts So why didn’t that boost Villaraigosa and de León? Guerra and Barreto said other factors weighed them down. Villaraigosa has been out of office for five years and had to compete against three strong Democrats, while only one other Republican threatened to pull support from Cox. De León as a state lawmaker did not have a high profile among voters and was competing with other Democrats, yet still made it to the runoff against a popular incumbent. They also pointed out that Latinos did well in California congressional races. In the 39th Congressional District that includes parts of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties, Democrat Gil Cisneros ran a strong second place to Republican Young Kim. In the 24th Congressional District that includes Santa Barbara, Democratic incumbent Salud Carbajal, who was considered a vulnerable target, won nearly 53 percent of the vote. Another vulnerable Democratic incumbent, Raul Ruiz in the 36th Congressional District in western Riverside County, won almost 55 percent of the vote. “When you look at it from our perspective,” Guerra said, “it was a really good election for Latinos.”<doc-sep>
Tuesday night’s California primary election results confirm that, as best we can tell, Democrats are on track to secure a narrow House majority in the 2018 midterms. Here’s how we know. Under California’s “top two” primary system, it’s possible to look at any given district and see the total number of votes for the Republican candidates and for the Democratic candidates. In the crowded CA-49 primary, for example, Republican candidates as a whole netted 48 percent of the vote to Democrats’ 51 percent. (Some absentee votes are still being counted, and the Democratic share will likely rise somewhat.) We know from history that there’s a systematic relationship between the cumulative primary ballot performance and general election performance in November, with Democrats usually doing a percentage point or two better in the general election because that’s when more young people vote. Based on how Democrats performed overall in the primary, we can project what California’s general election results will probably look like. And even though California is obviously not a microcosm of the entire United States, there is a systematic relationship between the state’s election results and national results. The way Nate Cohn calculated it for the Upshot: “Democrats would be favored to win control of the House if they could gain an average of 4.5 points across the country, according to our estimates. A 3.5-point improvement between the 2016 general election and the California top-two primary results might put them on track to do so.” And guess what? Across the seven key targeted races, Democrats secured an average swing of 5 points — enough to be favored for the majority. In the 7 seats Democrats are targeting in CA, their margin in last night’s primary votes is up ___% over 2016 primary ballots.#CA49: up 9%#CA48: up 6%#CA39: up 11%#CA45: up 11%#CA25: up 6%#CA10: up 12%#CA21: down 20% Projecting to Nov, Ds are ahead in 49, 25, and 10 — G. Elliott Morris ‍♂️ (@gelliottmorris) June 6, 2018 Now, to be clear, using results in seven seats to project the outcome in 435 seats is a dangerous business. There’s a lot of uncertainty here, and while the odds favor the Democrats, they do not do so overwhelmingly. But this is about as good a method as looking at generic ballot polling. It’s significant that generic ballot polling also tells roughly the same story: Democrats are more likely than not to secure a narrow House majority, but the odds are not overwhelming. Special election results, again, tell a similar story. Democrats have, on average, made big gains here (though with a lot of variance from state to state). But in special elections, they have the luxury, by definition, of running in an open seat. Accounting for incumbency effects, the large Democratic edge in special elections translates to a small edge in the overall race.
