Representative Jeff Denham has become the last Californian Republican to lose his seat.
Tuesday night, Associated Press said Josh Harder won the race in the 10th district of California, in the Central Valley of the state, east of San Jose. Harder, a former venture capitalist, had a lead of about 4,900 votes when the race was called.

Denham was first elected in 2010. He joins Steve Knight (25th District) and Dana Rohrabacher (48th District) as California Republicans beaten for re-election this month. The California Democrats also got a free seat at the 49th edition, owned by Darrell Issa.
Two other Californian seats, both now occupied by Republicans, are still taken into account: the 39th (an open seat previously held by Ed Royce) and the 45th (now occupied by Mimi Walters).
Overall, seven districts of the House have not yet been called, including one in Georgia, Maine, New Jersey, Texas and Utah. Without counting these districts, Democrats have an advantage of 229-199 in the approach of the new session of Congress, a net gain of 34 seats.
