House seats generally stay vacant until a special election is held.

I’m nervous seeing Porter run for Senate because I don’t know if the Dems can hold her House seat.

She's definitely in a red district, but I'm pretty sure I'd give up that House seat to put her in the Senate.

I don’t think the Dems can afford to give up any seats right now.

Former Major League Baseball player Steve Garvey announced Tuesday he is running for U.S. Senate in 2024 to fill the seat formerly held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who died earlier this month.

Garvey, a Republican, has no political background and faces long odds in a state where Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by nearly 30 points in the 2020 presidential election. But the former baseball star, who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, is hoping his name recognition will give him a boost.

I guess he's hoping that the sex scandal stuff is far enough in the past that folks won't remember it...

He’s running as a Republican, a sex scandal can only help him (unless it was a gay sex scandal).
