Republican Scott Baugh has conceded to Democrat Dave Min in the House race to succeed Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) in a toss-up Orange County, California district, keeping the seat within Democratic control.

The race, still too close for the Associated Press to call, currently sits at 50.9% for Min and 49.1% for Baugh. Baugh posted his letter of concession to X on Tuesday night, leaving remarks of disappointment in the race but optimism for America.
