San Francisco residents voted overwhelmingly to recall progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin in a heated campaign that divided Democrats over crime, policing and public safety reform in the famously liberal city.
Recall backers cheered the results as proof that San Franciscans wanted change in a chaotic DA's office. But Boudin remained defiant to supporters, saying the movement for justice would continue and blaming his loss on billionaire Republicans.
Boudin was a first-time political candidate who narrowly won office in November 2019 as part of a national wave of progressive elections. As of Wednesday morning, results showed the pro-recall vote leading 60-40 with 53% of precincts reporting.
