A razor-thin race is heating up in California’s 14th congressional district, where State Senator Aisha Wahab leads BART board director Melissa Hernandez by just one percentage point in early vote tallies. This special election fills the final months of Eric Swalwell’s term — which ended after he resigned amid serious allegations he denies. The two candidates previously clashed in a June special election and are set to face off again in November for the full two-year term. With ballots still being counted and updates promised for this Friday and August 26-28, the outcome could shift dramatically — making this a must-watch race with major implications for both the short-term vacancy and the upcoming general election.
