SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Democratic Rep. Jim Costa narrowly avoided one of the biggest upsets of the midterm elections, edging out his Republican challenger Wednesday in a contest that neither of the two parties expected to be so close.

His re-election to a sixth term leaves just one California congressional race undecided. Democratic Rep. Ami Bera, who won his suburban Sacramento seat just two years ago, was clinging to a narrow lead over his Republican challenger, former Congressman Doug Ose.

BOCA RATON, Florida -- Calling it a "mistake" and threatening lawsuits, several of the country's Republican governors unleashed harsh criticism of President Obama's soon-to-be-announced executive action on immigration.

In a video from the White House, President Obama announces an upcoming address to unveil executive changes to the immigration system

Deeming it "unconstitutional," Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, told a panel at the annual Republican Governors Association conference Wednesday that "it's a very real possibility" Texas will sue the federal government after Mr. Obama implements his executive action. Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisconsin, agreed that the Republican Party should go to court over the issue.

Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-Louisiana, who also suggested the idea of a lawsuit, conceded in an interview with CBS News that beyond that, congressional Republicans need to pass their own immigration solution and present it to Mr. Obama, even if the president vetoes it.

"Come January the Republicans are going to be in charge of the Senate. We are going to be in charge of the House still. It is incumbent upon Republicans to pass good policies, put them on the president's desk," Jindal said.

Meantime, Perry, who's considering running for president in 2016, warned that if the president goes through with the executive order, "he's putting his party in jeopardy."

"It jeopardizes long term the Democrats ever getting back into power in Washington, D.C.," he predicted.

Outgoing RGA chairman Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., refused to weigh in saying "Let's wait to see what the president says tomorrow night before we have any kind of reaction." When pressed, the potential 2016 presidential hopeful said he would pontificate on federal issues if and when he becomes a candidate.
