"The shifting demographics, including increasing Hispanic and Asian populations, made the open seat a top target for Democrats." "
“They’re down to 24 percent registration. And the reason is that they have a huge deficit with Latinos, with African Americans...and with Asian Americans. And they now have a deficit with whites,’’ he said. “You’re talking about a party where 77 percent of Republican likely voters in California are white. And the population that’s white here is 39 percent.”
"Currently, the number of Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics outnumber Whites in the [Orange] county, giving the Democratic Party a boost."

Let me add two more things onto why California has gone blue. One is that many red voters have left California over the last twenty years and moved their companies to other states to get away from the blue political environment.
The second is that the average taxpayer in Orange County saw a 45 percent tax increase as a result of the Trump tax deductions because of the cap imposed.
The combination of those two things tells me that more traditionally red businesses and voters will leave California for redder states in the future.
The districts where Republicans suffered heavy losses for the most part happened to be in areas with high property taxes (New York, New Jersey, California, etc.). I think the Republicans made a strategic decision to take more of the Midwest at the expense of the higher income districts across the US and in the short and long run it will pay off for them in the Senate.
