In California, Republicans And Democrats Appear To Avoid 'Jungle Primary' Nightmares
Democratic hopes to take back the House may have gotten a major boost on Tuesday, with the party appearing likely to avoid their worst nightmare as party-approved candidates appear to have survived California's top-two "jungle primary."
Ballots were still being counted in many of the most contentious races Wednesday morning but Democrats were comfortably positioned to stay in contention in every key race in the state. Republicans also avoided a political headache as they managed to get their top candidate into the race for California governor.
Democratic Party leaders had been worried that a surge in candidates could have an adverse affect — possibly keeping them out of several competitive contests if multiple Democrats split the vote in California's unusual top-two primary system, where the top two finishers, regardless of party, advance to the general election. Instead, there's a real likelihood they could compete in every single targeted race.
