New California Republican Sworn In to Finish McCarthy's Term

Vince Fong, a Republican from California, was sworn into Congress to complete the term of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy after winning a special election. Backed by Donald Trump and McCarthy, Fong's victory gives Republicans a 218-213 majority in the House. Fong emphasized addressing issues like the U.S.-Mexico border, rising costs, and community safety. McCarthy, who resigned after being voted out as Speaker, supported Fong's campaign significantly.
