More on that in just a moment. But first, lets get the latest on some. Important races happening in the bay area and kron fours Ella Sogomonian is live in the newsroom and brings us up to date a lot. Well, pam and catherine at this hour, were still waiting to see who will be the next mayor for the cities of san jose and oakland. Theyre just too close to call at this time. And ballots are still being counted right now. Lets take a look at san jose. Its it stands. Mahan has a 51. 0. 72 1 of the vote and chavezs at 48. 0, 28 . Chavez is a member of the Santa Clara County board of supervisors and mahan is a San Jose City council member. We caught up with both candidates last night. Well find out the days ahead. Im trying not expectations either way, but just the fact that we were outspent by nearly 2 Million Dollars didnt have all the big name elected indoor smits. And yet here we are. I mean, were were in a dead heat and well see how it plays out. But nonetheless, the campaign that all these hundreds of people behind me ran as something that were going to always be proud of. And were going to continue that work forward either for its not so much just about the outcome of the election. Its about the coalition. We brought together the vision for santa and in spite of literally having a Million Dollars i tapping the very things i and attacking me were still in this race. Thats pretty so that was the latest update in the last hour upon the Santa Clara County website. Meantime, lets take a look now in oakland as 10 candidates were vying to take over the seat that was left behind by libby schaff as she has now turned out. And right now early results show to City Council Members are the frontrunners. Keep in mind the oakland mayoral race is based on ranked Choice Voting. So while were still in the early stages of the vote tally process, we could see things change as a race develops. That being said, Lauren Taylor is currently in the lead with 34. 19 of the vote and towle trails behind with 28. 73 of the vote. Heres what they had to say last night. Im confident that this kid from oakland, the hometown kid right here at the end of the counting will be this citys next just made it a mentor. Its been over year. And it is just im just out of all the momentum that we have created and how were able to bring so many people. So Many Organizations together. Oakland has never seen how people have come together to back one candidate. And im honored to be that candidate. And despite the ongoing county website saying the precincts have reported 100 of their results, we believe the ballots are still being counted right now. So that could take some time before we know for sure who will be the mayor of oakland. Lets also take a look as tao released a statement earlier today on the results saying in part, quote, the Alameda County registrar of voters has so far only counted. 37,000 votes. There are 70,000 ballots remain to be counted. We remain optimistic about the final outcome. Turning our attention now to the race for District Attorney in Alameda County. Terry wiley is leading the race against pamela price. With 51. 0, 68 of the vote. But this race is also still too close to call. And San Francisco incumbent Brooke Jenkins declared victory today. She is sitting at 47. 96 at this time. According to the website, this too is ranked Choice Voting homicide. Key is in second at 34 so far. So again, these votes still need to be certified.

Good here is mayor breed giving shout out to all of her appointees. Matt dorsey, ahead to see our District Attorney. Im in the place shes and to see school board members.

I think as i tried to make clear for the last 4 months, San Francisco is no longer safe haven for crime. San francisco District AttorneyBrooke Jenkins on what this victory means now that voters chose her to be the citys top law enforcer. For me, it is certainly affirmation that the people of San Francisco are ready interested in accountability being restored to the criminal justice system. They truly understand. I think that we can have both. We can have somebody who implement the necessary reforms that we need to to make system more fair, but also still, it sure that there is accountability for those who choose to commit crimes in our did you guys need anything more . Haha. Although it was a good night for london breed. The mayor says she recognizes that there is more work to do in San Francisco and im looking forward to hopefully with with a lot of new leadership and a lot of great people. Im getting our city back on the right track in San Francisco as the met kron. 4 news. As predicted it is still not clear which party will control congress. There are several races still undecided and our grant lotus is here. He joins us with a look at the current balance of power. Lets start with the house. Will start with the house will get to the senate later in the show. We dont know either is the bottom line. So heres where things stand now. 207 house seats, 7 called for republicans 184 for democrats here in the middle. Both are trying to get to to 18, but we still have a lot of races that are just too close to call here in california. That is the case, particularly here in parts of the the Central Valley and then Southern California where, you know, the whole state across california, you have 18 house races but have not been called. And that is part of the reason why we do not have a decision. So thats the house. And coming up later in the show, well check on where things stand in the senate, especially georgia, arizona, and nevada. Back to you now. Panic at all right, grant, thank you. So tonight, as weve said, its not clear which Political Party will control congress with some pivotal races still undecided and washington correspondent Alexandra Limon joins us live. Shes got a breakdown of where things stand. Alex. Ken and catherine, good evening wore his one thing. We do know that red wave that republicans were expecting that just didnt happen. And while republicans are likely to gain control of the house, it will only be by a very slim margin. And we still dont know which party will control the senate. President joe biden and democrats are hopeful theyll retain control of at least one chamber of congress. Democrats had a strong night. And we lost fewer seats in the house. Representatives in the democratic president s first Midterm Election, the last 40 years because John Fetterman flipped the Pennsylvania Senate seat. Democrats have a chance of maintaining their senate majority. I never expected that were going to turn these read. Count is but depending on the results in arizona and nevada, Senate Control could again come down to a runoff in georgia. We know that when theyre finished counting the votes from todays election. Were going to have received more votes than my neither candidate got 50 of the vote. So theyll face off again on december 6th. Read about it. I dont come to republicans are celebrating the winds they did get and it is clear. We are going to take the house back. But the red wave that republicans predicted did not materialize, winning control of the Senate Remains an uphill battle. And if republicans win control of the house, it will only be by a handful of seats. The problem i think is that we didnt embrace some of the, you know, culture, warrior winning style that we saw in ron desantis. Now earlier today, President Joe Biden said that part of the reason why democrats did better than expected is because young people showed up to vote in much, not higher numbers and were expected. And thats notable considering this is a Midterm Election and it also appears that women and democrats were motivated by the issue of abortion rights to go out in and vote in much higher numbers than any poll predicted. All right. Alexandra limon will be looking forward to hearing more about demographic breakdowns on races across the country. But thank you for that live report from washington.
