The California Senate Safe D

This is one of our least certain forecasts — state-legislative races have almost no district polling and many of these maps were redrawn. Read the range, not the midpoint. How this is modeled →

Governed withheld forecast · district map available

Call the Map does not publish a binary control probability for the California Senate. The current district rows remain available below, with each publishable, structural, and unsettled seat labeled in its own claim class.

The district-by-district results for this chamber don't yet roll up into a chamber-wide total the model will stand behind, so no control probability is published. The seat estimate below is still the model's.
