Voters in San Francisco have chosen to recall embattled District Attorney Chesa Boudin following a recall effort centered on his handling of rising crime across the city. San Francisco voted to recall Boudin with 61%, compared to 39% who wanted him to stay as the district attorney, according to results at the time the Associated Press called the race. Boudin was elected in 2019 with 50.8% of the vote and was sworn in as San Francisco's 29th district attorney on Jan. 8 2020. He is the first San Francisco district attorney to be recalled, and only the second to face a recall election. San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who in recent weeks has appeared skeptical of Boudin's prosecutorial work but did not endorse his recall effort, will select his replacement.
