TL;DR

Progressive state senator Aisha Wahab won California’s East Bay seat in a special election to complete Rep. Eric Swalwell’s term, defeating Hernandez after a bruising intra-party contest and heavy spending from AIPAC-linked super PACs; Wahab was backed by the state Democratic party, Our Revolution, and AG Rob Bonta, while Lofgren endorsed Hernandez. With about 92% of votes counted, Wahab held a narrow lead of roughly six points.
