Voting Tuesday in the bitterly fought Georgia election to fill a House seat vacated by Tom Price, President Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services, is taking place more than 2,000 miles from California.
Yet Californians are deeply invested in the race, which has become a referendum on the Trump administration and could chart the path for Democrats nationwide to rebuild their power base in one-time GOP strongholds such as Orange County.
More donors to the campaigns of Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel are from California than any other state, including Georgia. San Francisco has played front and center in campaign attacks. Liberal Hollywood celebs have lent their star power.
