California’s most conservative congressional district just experienced its own version of the “Groundhog Day” time loop.
After two elections, held two weeks apart, the same two candidates have advanced to two subsequent elections.
Both Mr. Fong and Mr. Boudreaux had already won a chance to vie in the November general election for a full, two-year term, starting in January 2025.
Mr. Boudreaux, the longtime sheriff of Tulare County, finished with about 26 percent of the vote.
As the top two finishers — and with neither candidate taking 50 percent of the vote — they will compete again on May 21 to determine who completes Mr. McCarthy’s term.
