Soros Takes A Big Election Night Loss In One Of The Largest Blue Districts In America [WATCH]

On Election Day, Los Angeles County voters decisively removed District Attorney George Gascón from office, choosing his opponent, Nathan Hochman, by a wide margin.

Hochman won with 61.5% of the vote, compared to Gascón’s 38.5%, marking a significant shift in the county’s approach to criminal justice.

With 59.49% of the votes counted by Wednesday morning, Hochman’s victory was by a slightly smaller margin than some recent polls had predicted, which had shown Gascón trailing by as much as 25 points.

Gascón was initially elected in 2020 during a wave of support for the Black Lives Matter movement, with financial backing from left-wing billionaire George Soros and endorsements from prominent Democratic Party leaders.

His campaign and subsequent policies, which focused on criminal justice reform, were supported by then-Mayor Eric Garcetti and other local officials.

In a controversial move, Garcetti withdrew his endorsement of incumbent D.A. Jackie Lacey, the first Black woman to hold the role, and threw his support behind Gascón.

Once in office, Gascón implemented several reform-focused policies aimed at reducing sentences, eliminating cash bail, and providing alternatives to incarceration.

These initiatives, aligned with those promoted by other Soros-backed prosecutors across the nation, were met with mixed responses.

While supporters advocated for criminal justice reform, Gascón’s policies sparked criticism from various corners, including within his own office, where prosecutors voiced concerns over the impact on public safety.

His administration faced two separate recall efforts from residents, though neither succeeded, with the second attempt failing due to disqualified signatures.

The election of Hochman, a former federal prosecutor and previous Republican candidate for California Attorney General, signals a marked shift in direction for Los Angeles County.

Hochman ran on a platform that pledged to undo many of Gascón’s policies, appealing to voters who had grown increasingly frustrated with rising crime rates and what they viewed as overly lenient criminal justice reforms.

His campaign slogan, “Gascón must go!” resonated strongly with the county’s voters, many of whom sought a tougher stance on crime.

The movement against “woke” criminal justice policies appears to be gaining traction in California.

In addition to Gascón’s defeat, voters in Oakland were also close to recalling another Soros-backed prosecutor, Alameda County DA Pamela Price, as of Wednesday morning.

Additionally, California voters approved Proposition 36, a ballot measure designed to counter some aspects of the state’s 2014 Proposition 47, which had reduced sentencing for certain crimes.

The passage of Proposition 36 reflects a growing backlash against leniency-focused policies.

These election outcomes indicate a limit to support for criminal justice reform policies, even among traditionally Democratic voters.

Analysts believe that the results in Los Angeles County and Oakland demonstrate a pushback against policies perceived as lenient, with many voters looking to restore stricter measures.

As Hochman prepares to take office, he has promised to prioritize public safety and restore a prosecutorial approach that reflects the concerns of county residents.

His leadership marks a significant shift in one of the country’s largest districts and signals potential changes in California’s broader criminal justice landscape.
