San Francisco Mayor London Breed conceded her election loss on Thursday to Daniel Lurie, a more moderate challenger, after a contentious campaign that centered heavily on moving the city past its post-pandemic woes.

While Breed, the first Black woman mayor of San Francisco, was seen as among the most progressive leaders in the city's history, Lurie took a more moderate, centrist approach throughout his campaign. Having survived allegations of buying the race, Lurie will now look to implement a series of changes when he takes office on Jan. 6.

Newly elected San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie discussed his appeal for a "common sense" approach Tuesday after defeating progressive Mayor London Breed.

San Francisco’s mayor-elect Daniel Lurie (D), who won over the incumbent last week, discussed Democrats’ losses and his success in an interview Tuesday. CNN’s Erin Burnett pressed Lurie on the impact of the election results on Democrats.
