Incumbent Democrat Judy Chu holds a commanding lead in California's 28th congressional district heading into the November 3, 2026 general election, reflecting the seat's strong Democratic lean and her established position. Chu advanced comfortably from the June primary with over 62 percent of the vote against Republican April Verlato and a minor Democratic challenger, consistent with her 2024 general election margin and the district's recent presidential results. Nonpartisan forecasters rate the race as solidly or safely Democratic, citing structural advantages from redistricting and limited opposition resources. Verlato's minimal fundraising and profile have not altered this positioning. Trader consensus aligns with these factors, though late developments such as a significant scandal, health event, or sharp national partisan swing could theoretically narrow the gap in the final weeks.
