California's June 2 primary will set the stage for key congressional races that could determine control of the U.S. House.

- In District 22, two Democrats challenge Republican Rep. David Valadao.

- In District 48, a crowded field vies for an open seat after Rep. Darrell Issa's retirement.

- In District 11, three Democrats compete to replace Nancy Pelosi. - In District 7, incumbent Doris Matsui faces a progressive challenger.

These races will shape the national political landscape, with implications for President Trump's agenda and Democratic oversight.
