14. CA relevance to either control of the House or the Senate on this

Election night will have no relevance.

The House will be decided by the time Iowa polls close at the latest and when PA/NJ/NC & FL at the earliest.

As both candidates for Senate are Democrats it is safe to say that on election night CA, by definition, has no relevance on control of the Senate.

The few Rep districts that still exist, like my long term home CA 49 are important to the residents but control of the House will be settled early.

At no time was their any discussion about relevance of CA to the rest of the Country, it was relevance to the results of institutional control which because CA is so overwhelmingly Democratic has very few districts left to flip (and will be flipped before CA votes are counted) and the Senate where the voters of CA have already decided that their Senator is going to be a Democrat.
