Voters throughout the Bay Area reacted to both local and national elections on Tuesday night, as former President Donald Trump soundly defeated Vice President and Oakland native Kamala Harris to serve a second term.

A few hundred Trump supporters celebrated as results rolled in during the Contra Costa County GOP Election Watch Party at the Back Forty Texas BBQ Roadhouse & Saloon in Pleasant Hill.

In Oakland, the bid to recall Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao passed by a nearly two-to-one margin on Tuesday night and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price became the first elected district attorney to be recalled from office in the county’s history.

Former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo took an early lead Tuesday night in an expensive, high-profile race against Assemblymember Evan Low to replace U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, who is retiring after more than three decades in Congress.

Lateefah Simon jumped to an early lead against Jennifer Tran in the District 12 California congressional race in early returns Tuesday night in a contest that will pass the torch to a new generation of California progressives.
