What Went Down In The June 7 Primaries
With 45 percent of the vote in, the people of San Francisco appear to be on track to recall their district attorney by a 20-point margin. Progressive Chesa Boudin won a four-year term in 2019, but as concerns about crime gripped the city, he seemed to have lost support among local leaders like Mayor London Breed, who never took a public position on the recall.

In New Jersey, results from the AP show former Wall Street banker Frank Pallotta leading by about 5 points now over Marine veteran Nick De Gregorio in the race to take on Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer. De Gregorio came in as the favorite here, but Pallotta did have Trump’s backing in 2020 when he lost to Gottheimer. Democrats wanted Pallotta again instead of De Gregorio, even sending mailings out to GOP voters ostensibly attacking Pallotta for being too Trumpy, a not-so-subtle attempt to get them to vote for Pallotta.
