Today, the non-partisan election forecaster Inside Elections shifted California’s 45th Congressional District in Derek Tran’s favor from “Tilt Republican” to “Toss-up.”
This follows Inside Elections’ previous shift toward Tran in August, writing about his groundswell of support from Vietnamese-American voters in the heavily-AANHPI district, which polling found to be at a strong baseline of 62% to Steel’s 30%.
Every major non-partisan election forecaster has now shifted the race in CA-45 to a toss-up, including The Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball. Even Fox News’ Power Rankings moved the race to toss-up.
DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“Derek Tran continues to build momentum heading into the home stretch, which is why Michelle Steel and her party bosses are clearly panicking. As an Army veteran, small business owner, and the son of Vietnamese refugees, Derek is ready to send Steel packing and finally give families across Orange County the representation they deserve.”
