Rep. David Valadao Faces Tough Race Amid Latino Voter Discontent with Trump

Valadao's district is heavily Latino, with two-thirds of voters identifying as Hispanic, and national polling shows a significant drop in Trump's approval among Latino voters.
Valadao's challenger, Randy Villegas, is campaigning on progressive healthcare reforms, appealing to disaffected voters and criticizing Valadao's past votes that could harm constituents.
Valadao's past impeachment vote and his ties to Trump complicate his campaign in a newly blue-leaning district, where economic issues are a major concern for voters.
