House editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report Dave Wasserman announced a projection Wednesday: "T.J. Cox (D) has defeated Rep. David Valadao (R) in #CA21, an upset that brings Dems to a *40 seat* gain overall. Final House breakdown: 235D, 200R."

He was followed by the Los Angeles Times and Decision Desk HQ, a website which calls elections, which tweeted: "It is over for Congressman David Valadao in #CA21. His best county's provisionals reported today, and broke for the Democrat, TJ Cox. Outstanding votes are going to be more of the same. That makes a forty seat gain for the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives."
