The race to replace Katie Hill in the #CA25 looks headed to a runoff, but big name candidates Cenk Uygur and George Papadopoulos will not be participating:

There actually will be two runoffs. One in May to fill out the rest of Hill’s term and a second in November. From the LA Times:
The primary appeared likely to yield two runoffs between Smith and Garcia, a former Navy pilot — one in May to fill Hill’s seat for the rest of the year and another in November for the full two-year term that starts in January.
The race included Young Turks host Cenk Uygur and George Papadopoulos, both of whom did not do well at all:
Some #CA25 (former @KatieHill4CA) numbers:
Dem @ChristyforCA25 in front, followed closely by @MikeGarcia2020 and @SteveKnight25 who are less than 100 votes apart.
Progressive journo @cenkuygur and former Trump aide @GeorgePapa19 way behind. Still early

Uygur, however, REALLY, REALLY didn’t take it well last night. Here he is calling Joe Biden mentally incompetent and saying there’s no way he can beat Trump:
