Incumbent Democrat Judy Chu holds a commanding position in California's 28th congressional district heading into the November 3, 2026 general election, reflecting the seat's established Democratic lean and her consistent performance. The district carries a D+14 partisan voter index based on recent presidential results, and California’s mid-decade redistricting has reinforced this advantage. Chu advanced comfortably from the June 2 top-two primary with over 62 percent of the vote against Republican April Verlato and a minor Democratic challenger. Nonpartisan forecasters rate the race Solid or Safe Democratic, consistent with the district’s voter registration edge and Chu’s long tenure since 2009. Verlato’s limited fundraising and name recognition further constrain any path to an upset. Trader consensus around 96-97 percent for a Democratic hold aligns with these structural factors; only an unforeseen late development such as a major scandal or health event would realistically alter the outlook before election day.
