Fox News
LA DA Gascón said America's shift is "heartbreaking" after losing his re-election bid to former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman early Wednesday.
Hochman, a former federal prosecutor, campaigned as a "hard middle" candidate while rejecting several of Gascón's liberal policies, which Hochman attributed to increased crime and a lack of consequences for juvenile offenders.

"The voters of Los Angeles County have spoken and have said enough is enough of DA Gascon’s pro-criminal extreme policies; they look forward to a safer future. As DA, I look forward to representing all of the people, whether they voted for me or not, since their safety will be my responsibility," Hochman told Fox News Digital in a statement.
