Hot mic reveals Issa plotting GOP strategy after California redraws House map
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., was caught on a hot mic Thursday discussing strategy following the passage of a new map by California voters that could potentially give Democrats an additional five House seats.
Issa was apparently referring to Reps. Ken Calvert and Young Kim, both California Republicans, during his remarks while attending President Donald Trump’s peace deal signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Just before the event began, Issa was captured on a pool camera discussing the race.

“Ken has nowhere else to go,” Issa said in footage recorded ahead of the White House peace-signing event. The footage was posted online by a reporter at Spectrum News’ Washington, D.C., bureau.
“She does have a hard seat she could go to, and I know the administration would look favorably if she would do that,” Issa continued, apparently referring to Kim. “And then if she doesn’t win, you know, she could go to the administration for two years.
“With Ken, we need him exactly where he is, and most of this district is or has been his,” he added. “If anyone else had a claim for it, it’d be me.”
California voters in November approved Proposition 50, a measure that will redraw the state’s congressional map and give Democrats more House seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The move was in response to a similar plan in Texas to give Republicans more seats.

Calvert will challenge Kim, an incumbent, for California’s newly redrawn 40th Congressional District.
“Appreciate Congressman Issa saying what so many Californians already know: Ken Calvert is the strongest conservative who can win this seat and is on track to win the new 40th district,” a spokesperson for Calvert’s campaign told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the offices of Issa and and Kim.
Issa was reportedly considering a move to Texas to run for Congress. However, he previously told Fox News that he will remain in California to run in the newly gerrymandered 48th Congressional District.
“I’m thrilled to set the record straight, and here’s the truth: Texas House members and residents of that state did ask if I would consider running there following Gavin Newsom’s historically corrupt gerrymander,” Issa told Fox News Digital. “I appreciate the opportunity, but California is my home. I told them I’m going to stay in Congress, and I don’t need to go to Texas for that.
“I believe the people of Southern California in San Diego County and Riverside County who elected me so many times will, regardless of registration, consider my record in full and allow me to continue serving them,” he added. “I can hold this seat, I’m not quitting on California, and neither should anyone else.”

The No. 12 Oregon State Beavers open the season against the Michigan Wolverines Friday at Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Arizona.
The Beavers enter the 2026 season with arguably the best pitching rotation in college baseball, a reloaded bullpen, three returning starters in the field and six newcomers. But the expectations of returning to Omaha remain the same.
They’re a unanimous top 15 team, featuring preseason All-American pitchers Dax Whitney and Ethan Kleinschmit and several others on preseason award watch lists.
OSU will play four games in Arizona this weekend, bookended by Michigan with Arizona and Stanford on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The Beavers are 5-0 all-time against the Wolverines.
Oregon State went 12-5-1 in neutral-site games last season.

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A school bus driver for the Granite School District was taken into custody following an investigation into a reported tip concerning child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Casey Dean Golding, 24, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on Thursday, accused of three counts of second-degree felony sexual exploitation of a minor.
The investigation started in February 2025 after a social media company filed a report with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The report identified a social media account that allegedly uploaded and distributed (CSAM).
Investigators said they identified Golding as the owner of the account and confronted him in February 2026, following a “pre-contact investigation.” Upon arrival at his Salt Lake County home, police noted a Granite School District school parked outside.
Golding allegedly admitted to owning the reported social media account, as well as the associated email and phone number. However, Golding denied sending or receiving CSAM but knew the incident that the police were questioning him about occurred in 2025.
According to court documents, Golding allowed police to search his phone, where investigators allegedly found an explicit 30-second video of CSAM.
Investigators took Golding into custody, citing that he was in a “trusted position” over children as a bus driver transporting elementary and middle-school-aged children.
