Republicans No Longer Have a Majority of Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Rep. Kevin Kiley said Monday that he was leaving the party after recent boundary changes forced him into a blue-leaning Sacramento district.
Kiley's switch means Republicans now hold 217 seats compared with Democrats' 214, with three vacancies. Kiley is the only independent in the House.
Kiley is not the only California Republican facing a tougher road to reelection.
Republican Reps. Ken Calvert and Young Kim will face off in a new district. Rep. David Valadao's district in the Central Valley has become even more Democratic-leaning.
Meanwhile, Rep. Darrell Issa announced his retirement on Friday after his new district was tilted towards the Democrats.
