The Republican caucus in California’s Legislature is growing more diverse as Latino and Asian American candidates apparently flipped three Democrat-held seats. When new legislators are sworn in next week, Democrats will still control a supermajority in the Legislature. But the three flipped seats have Republicans hopeful. They point to Latino and Black voters helping send Donald Trump to the White House for a second term. Democratic leaders say the results are hardly a groundswell against their party and experts such as election analyst Paul Mitchell say legislative gains could be short-lived. Mitchell says the party that lost nationally in a presidential election almost always surges back in the midterms.
