Former congressman Darrell Issa (R), one of the Democrats’ chief antagonists, has won his race in California’s 50th Congressional District and will return to Capitol Hill in January, two years after he originally retired from Congress.

The 67-year-old beat Ammar Campa-Najjar (D) by more than seven percentage points, according to Edison Research, which called the race Sunday. The San Diego County-based seat has been vacant since January, when former congressman Duncan D. Hunter (R) resigned after pleading guilty in federal court to misusing campaign funds.

Issa first represented California’s 48th and, later, 49th congressional districts in the House for 18 years before announcing in 2018 that he was leaving Congress and was “happily looking forward to doing other things.”

Issa, a vocal ally of President Trump, is perhaps best known from his tenure early last decade chairing the House Oversight Committee. His investigations included the first review of the Obama administration and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s handling of the deadly 2012 terrorist attack on U.S. installations in Benghazi, Libya, and the “Fast and Furious” gun trafficking scandal in Arizona, which concluded with the House Republican majority voting to hold then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt.

8. Like a bad rash that won't go away.

He tried to take the Governorship and Arnold cock blocked him. I bet he's still pissed about that. Couldn't win in his District and decided to "retire". So, he goes after another safe Republican District. And in California, their aren't many left. Last I looked, even Fresno County went blue.
