San Francisco's Political Shift: Lurie Leads as Votes Still Counted

TL;DR Summary
San Francisco Mayor London Breed is trailing challenger Daniel Lurie in the mayoral race, with Lurie leading 56% to Breed's 44% in early returns. Lurie, a Levi Strauss heir, has outspent Breed and criticized her handling of issues like homelessness and drug overdoses. Despite Breed's optimism, the significant vote gap and Lurie's strong performance, particularly among Asian-American voters, make her path to victory challenging. The city will release more results soon, but Lurie's lead suggests a potential shift in leadership for San Francisco.
