Incumbent Democrat Brad Sherman and Republican Larry Thompson advanced from California's June 2 top-two primary for the 32nd congressional district. With roughly 60 percent of votes counted, Sherman held a narrow lead near 37 percent while Thompson sat close behind at about 36 percent; Democratic challenger Jake Levine trailed in third with around 13 percent. California’s open primary system advances the two highest vote-getters regardless of party, and early tallies plus Associated Press reporting indicate these two cleared that threshold. Remaining ballots and official certification could adjust margins slightly but are unlikely to change the top-two outcome. The general election is scheduled for November 3.
