Far-Left Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón lost his re-election bid on Tuesday night to Nathan Hochman, a former federal prosecutor who has vowed to go tough on crime.
With 59% of the vote reporting, Hochman was leading Gascón 61% to 39% as of Wednesday morning. Gascón’s leftist policies will come to an end after he served just one term as DA.
After pushing for zero-bail policies and more lenient sentences for criminals, Gascón bled much of his support and trailed for most of the 2024 campaign, KTLA reported. One of his final acts before the election was to seek reduced sentences for the Menendez brothers who were convicted and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole after murdering their parents in 1989. The Menendez brothers’ story was made popular by a Netflix series that came out earlier this year.
