7. She was not gerrymandered

That is not how California's redistricting works. She is running in a district that is largely new to her and much more coastal (i.e. Laguna, Newport and Huntington beaches). It is a more affluent district than her old Ca-45, likely less diverse and is about D+1.5.

On the upside, analysis shows that if this district as drawn now existed, Clinton would have beaten Trump by 7.3 and Biden by 10.7 but Newsom only defeated recall by 3.2 here.

Baugh is kind of an uninspired and lackluster career politico but the inflationary environment gives him a decent chance. This race will likely be tight and the outcome may not be known for 2 weeks or so after election day.
