Bera survived a bitterly fought challenge by former Republican Rep. Doug Ose two years later, a race that attracted more than $24 million in campaign spending. Jones isn’t the only Republican in California being forced to delicately — or not so delicately — maneuver around the latest Trump tempest. Bera and Jones were the only two names on the June 7 primary ballot, with Bera winning 54% of the vote and Jones 46%. Jones has said he plans to vote for Trump because he is the Republican Party’s presidential nominee and because he opposes Clinton. Both are locked in tough reelection fights and were called out by Democratic rivals to denounce Trump.
