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.

San Francisco's mayor-elect Daniel Lurie declared victory Friday morning as he addressed the city for the first time since incumbent Mayor London Breed conceded the race Thursday afternoon.

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.

Lurie ran a steady campaign against what he often called 'City Hall insiders' he blamed for San Francisco’s problems. But he’s offered few specifics about his plans moving forward.

Voters in San Francisco are deciding whether to reelect Mayor London Breed in a heated and expensive race against four key fellow Democrats over issues of homelessness and public safety.

Mayor London Breed conceded the mayoral race to Daniel Lurie Thursday afternoon with a social media post that congratulated her competitor.

He spent more on his campaign staff and political consultants, more on television advertising and more on polling in his quest to achieve a relatively uncommon feat in American politics — being elected mayor of a big city without any previous experience in government or business.
