The 2024 race against Tran proved to be a costly and acrimonious campaign as the Democratic Party pushed to capture the seat centered in Orange County's Little Saigon community.

The tension came to a boiling point in recent weeks when Steel's campaign sent mailers depicting Tran as a communist sympathizer. Tran criticized these mailers as 'dirty tricks.'

In a sign of how important the race was in the fight for control of Congress, former President Clinton appeared in Orange County and urged Tran's supporters to elect the Army veteran.
