California Primaries Test Democratic Strategy

California voters are heading to the polls for congressional primaries, testing whether the Democrats' redrawn map will pay off.

The party aims to counter Republican gains elsewhere, but some worry about potential setbacks in the crowded races.

Early results show incumbent Mayor Karen Bass advancing to a runoff in Los Angeles, while Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra are leading in the gubernatorial primary.

The outcomes of these races could significantly impact the balance of power in both state and national politics.
