California Secretary of State Invalidates McCarthy-Endorsed Fong's Congressional Run

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber has ruled that Assemblyman Vince Fong, endorsed by Rep. Kevin McCarthy, cannot run for Congress in the 20th Congressional District due to his previous filing for reelection to the California State Assembly. Fong's campaign plans to challenge the decision in court, arguing that it interferes with the candidate filing process. Fong's eligibility status has been a subject of controversy, with another Republican candidate, David Giglio, threatening to sue if Fong is allowed to run.
