The outspoken law and order candidate, billionaire businessman and former Republican Rick Caruso ran against a slew of candidates that included several left-wing progressives, most notably Democratic Congresswoman Karen Bass. Neither candidate reached the 50% vote necessary to avoid a runoff, but Caruso was the projected winner, with more than one-third of the expected votes counted. He led Bass early Wednesday with 42% support compared to Bass\u2019s 37%. Caruso and Bass will face off in November. L.A. City Councilman Kevin de Le\u00f3n, another progressive Democrat, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-06-07\/2022-los-angeles-mayor-election-karen-bass-rick-caruso-results\">came in third place<\/a>, followed by progressive activist Gina Viola.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThis is a great night because so many people have gone to the voting booth and they sent a message: We are not helpless in the face of our problems,\u201d Caruso told supporters at The Grove, a luxury shopping center in the city that he developed. \u201cWe will not allow the city to decline. We will no longer accept excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Caruso said his position was \u201ca victory story, about an entire community that refused to let the dream of Los Angeles be extinguished.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bass also addressed supporters in Hollywood, saying, \u201cWe are in a fight for the soul of our city,\u201d adding, \u201cand we are going to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another race <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/06\/07\/us\/elections\/results-california-state-controller.html\">gaining<\/a> attention was the election for state controller, where Lanhee Chen, a Republican, came out ahead, winning 37% of the vote. If Chen beats his Democratic opponent in November, it would be the first time Republicans have won a statewide race since 2006.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a decisive outcome, voters chose to recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, with the yes votes coming in at 60%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Boudin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/chesa-boudin-soft-on-crime-son-of-terror-group-members-bitter-after-recall-as-san-francisco-da\">addressed his loss<\/a> by blaming the situation on \u201cright-wing billionaires,\u201d while acknowledging \u201cwe\u2019ve made mistakes\u201d without stating what he thinks those mistakes were.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cPeople are angry, they\u2019re frustrated, and I want to be very clear about what happened tonight: The right-wing billionaires outspent us three to one, they exploited an environment in which people are appropriately upset, and they created an electoral dynamic where we were literally shadowboxing,\u201d Boudin said. \u201cVoters were not given an opportunity to choose between criminal justice reform and something else. They were given an opportunity to voice their frustrations and their outrage and they took that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, for Republicans hoping to see a shift in California state politics, the gubernatorial primary showed resounding support for Democratic policies in the state. Democratic incumbent Governor Gavin Newsom is the projected top vote-getter, annihilating a list of other candidates with 56.3% of the vote as of Wednesday morning, with 49% of the expected ballots counted. Republican Brian Dahle was in second place, with only 16.8% support. The two will compete in the general election in November after Newsom survived a recall attempt last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Californians voted in the state\u2019s open primary election on Tuesday night, revealing some telling information about the mindset of voters ahead of the midterm elections.
