It's Election Day in Georgia for a race to replace former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

President Trump has endorsed one candidate in the crowded field.

NPR's Stephen Fowler reports.

California incumbent Congressman Kevin Kiley has left the Republican Party.

He says he's re-registered as an Independent and is running for re-election.

This comes as California voters approved the redrawing of state congressional districts last year.

Kiley's district now leans Democratic.

He says he will still caucus with Republicans, but his decision means Republicans have very slim control in the House.

217 seats.

The Democrats have 214 seats.
