Kevin O'Neil is running in California's 48th Congressional District race and is one of several candidates trying to advance from the June 2 top-two primary. Recent coverage says the race is competitive and that the district's new map and split vote among candidates could affect which two move on to the general election. The latest reporting focuses on the primary outcome and the broader fight for the seat, rather than any separate development involving O'Neil.
