Americans are turning the page on the woke left’s approach to crime, if this week’s district attorney elections are anything to go by.

Most of the 25 Related to George Soros district attorneys on the ballot this week were defeated, signaling a backlash against progressive policies that critics say are to blame for rising crime across the country in recent years.

Many of the candidates Soros defeated ran for office in deep-blue jurisdictions and suffered heavy losses, despite Vice President Harris winning comfortable majorities in the same areas — indicating that many Democrats are also done with the poor crime experiment of the progressive left. according to the Police Legal Defense Fund, a pro-police nonprofit that tracked the 25 races.

Out of the 25 Related to Soros district attorneys on the ballot, 12 were either defeated or recalled.

‘FAILED EXPERIMENT’: EXPERTS REVEAL WHY SOROS-BACKED POLICIES WERE BEATEN IN THE DEEP BLUE STATE

Soros, the Hungarian-born left-wing billionaire, runs a dark money web of non-profits that fund various candidates around the world who align with his progressive agenda, including the Open Society Foundations. Soros has donated more than $32 billion to open society foundations since 1984, according to his website.

The most important loss this week occurred in the city of Los Angeles, where Prosecutor George Gascónbacked by Soros, was beaten 24 percent by his tough-on-crime opponent, Nathan Hochman, a former federal prosecutor, with crime a top issue in the election cycle.

Instead, Harris swept Los Angeles County with 30 points.

Elsewhere in the liberal bastion state, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins comfortably defeated U.S. Attorney Ryan Khojasteh, who was the chosen candidate of former U.S. Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was recalled in 2022.

Jenkins claimed in January that the city was encountering a “hard right turn” in recent years. Those sentiments were echoed by Gascón after his loss this week.

In another loss for Soros-backed prosecutors in the Golden State, District Attorney Pamela Price was recalled in Alameda County, home to Oakland and Berkeley, less than two years after taking office amid backlash over her alleged soft-on-crime approach. Vice President Harris won the county 75%-25%.

“In every battleground state and in Vice President Harris’ home state of California, a sizable portion of Democrats voted to remove progressive prosecutors,” Sean Kennedy, policy director of the Legal Defense Enforcement Fund, told Fox News Digital.

“The election results show that the soft-on-crime approach is not only a failed political experiment, but a political loser – even in deep blue areas.

California’s Proposition 36which sought to restore tough penalties for drugs and theft, passed easily with 70.4% of voters. Every county in the state voted in favor of Prop 36.

The losses come as retail chains and retail stores have been hit hard by burglaries, retail robberies and organized crime gangs, while cities such as San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles have been devastated by rising property crime. and retail theft.

Kennedy says voter backlash against soft-on-crime policies has been particularly acute in battleground states.

In Georgia, Athens-Clarke and Oconee County District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez was eliminated by 20 percent. She represented the same county where nursing student Laken Riley was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant who had been arrested and then released before the brutal murder.

Gonzalez was 16 percent behind Harris, who carried those counties 56.5 percent to Trump’s 43.5 percent.

Meanwhile, incumbent prosecutors in Arizona’s Maricopa County and Michigan’s Macomb County exceeded Trump’s margin of victory and defeated Soros-backed rivals, according to Kennedy.

“In key district attorney races, traditionally minded prosecutors won a larger share of the vote than Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, as one in eight Harris voters supported the tough-on-crime candidate. It turns out that public safety is not partisan. problem, it’s a common sense one.”

However, there were wins for Soros-linked candidates, with progressive Savannah District Attorney Shalena Cook Jones retaining her seat with 7 percent.

In Florida, Soros-backed Monique Worrell reclaimed the Orange-Osceola state’s attorney position, defeating Andrew Bain by just over 5 percent. It was removed last year by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for “dereliction of duty” on crime.
