Valadao's Tight Race Amid Latino Shift | Fresno News

Rep. David Valadao’s reelection bid is in deep trouble as Latino voters, who make up a majority of his district, increasingly turn away from Trump—and Valadao, despite not being a loyal Trump ally. Facing one of the most expensive races in the country, he’s caught between distancing himself from Trump while trying to hold onto Republican support, all as voters grapple with rising costs and healthcare access. His Democratic challenger, Randy Villegas, is capitalizing on this by highlighting Valadao’s vote for a bill that slashed vital programs—potentially turning key constituents against him. Analysts say if Democrats can link Valadao to Trump’s declining popularity and exploit economic anxiety, this could be a seismic win with national ripple effects.
