position. he explained how the collaboration would look moving forward. >> after elections, elected officials have a responsibility to come together, trying to understand what the electorate was telling them, then working together to solve problems. i'm committed to focusing on the solutions we need. >> when you work really hard for something, it is very easy to feel let down when things don't go exactly the way you wanted them to. but the thing i know, and i think it may be age or experience, that every single time we move people forward, you make a change that is meaningful to someone. lena: that's his opponent, sidney chavez, acknowledging that she always knew this was going to be a tight race. and our campaign headquarters was standing room only last night, she addressed the crowd twice from the podium, with no acceptance or concession speech.

let's try out san francisco. 88%. this is where proposition one performed the best. where it did not perform as strong here was solano county, with 65%. proposition 26 and 27 are linked. 73% no. for 27, 80 5% no. this is specifically for solano county, but overall for the state, it did not perform well. it is projected to fail. it would allow for sports cabling in california. i want to zoom in one more time because i want to point something out. this would have been really good news for alameda county, had this done well. we know golden gate fields is in berkeley. the last proposition where going to get into is 28. it is to bring arts and music programs to every public school. it is at no cost to taxpayers. that did really well around the bay area, especially in san

francisco. 77% yes. we have the proposition results, all of them, on our website abc7news.com. we will have part two propositions coming up in the next hour. kumasi: there are three candidates looking out to finish out a term for the recalled district attorney. brooke jenkins is leading right now with 48% of the vote. abc 7 news was at the watch party. she spoke to her constituents and reinforced her mission to balance the necessary reforms with accountability. >> if we keep san francisco back on track.

the votes in the states are still being counted. the georgia senate race, democrat raphael warnock is just ahead of republican herschel walker. it is unlikely that either candidate will get 50% of the vote, which means there will likely be a runoff election next month. abc news projecting democrat john fetterman will beat republican dr. method awes. --mehmet oz. you can see a very close race. abc7news reporter justin finch taking a deeper look at these races. reporter: a major win overnight. abc news projecting democrat john fetterman the winner of pennsylvania's open senate seat. >> i never expected we would turn the red counties blue. tonight, that is why i will be the next u.s. senator from

supported by several labor unions. however the next mayor is, uniting city hall will be one of the first big challenges. >> it has been a fractured city, both along race and class lines, but also with the government. the mayor again city council, city council against the mayor. there is so much division. gloria: candidates are running to take over for the outgoing mayor. the website has 100% of the pre-since reporting, but it may take a few days before the ranked choice votes are counted. right now, it is just a waiting game. kumasi: thank you. back to the results of the propositions you voted on. jobina is here with three particular propositions. jobina: we are going to start with proposition 29, regarding the dialysis clinic spirit he likely saw the commercials over and over. this is the third time the

proposition has been on the ballot, and it failed again, with 62% saying no. in 2020, 50 3% said no. 2018, 40 2% no. overwhelmingly no. we will see if it comes back in a couple of years. it's get over to proposition 30, that is also projected to fail. but what we want to do is zoom into our area and see how people voted. overwhelmingly here, we see 51 percent, here at 55% as well. this is san mateo county. everyone is about similar here. the wealthiest residents here will not see a tax increase. the measure would have boosted the raisel and incomes above $2 million. it would help put more electric cars on the road. but proposition 31, we knew this, would do well. 80% saying yes. this is for marin county,

alameda, san mateo at 72%. what this would have done is put a ban on flavored tobacco products. that's talking about flavored cigarettes or also the juices for vape pens or anything like that. we also have results for all propositions on our website, abc7news.com. kumasi: the balance of power in congress are means of the air this morning. republicans are favored to retake the house. however, democrats may win more seats then previously expected. right now, abc7news projects they have one 20 seven house seats and need to 18 to take control. current house minority kevin mccarthy, could become house speaker if the gop wins control. mccarthy remains confident about his party's future after election night. >> the election -- the american people are ready for a majority

to move in a different direction that will put americans back on track. republicans are ready to deliver it. it is a new direction toward an economy that is strong, or you can fill up your tank, feed your family, where your paychecks grow and not shrink. a new direction toward a nation that is safe, where communities are protected, loma -- law enforcement is respected, and criminals are prosecuted. a new direction toward a future that is built on freedom, or children come first and are taught to dream big. in a new direction toward a government that is accountable, or government works for you instead of against you. kumasi: current house speaker nancy pelosi says it is clear house democrat members are strongly outperforming expectations across the country. reggie: one democrat not turning -- not returning to congress's jackie spears. she is retiring after decades of politics. kevin mullin is expected to take

candidate mark healy is now the first openly lesbian governor elected in the united states. in new hampshire, james is the first trans-man elected to state legislature in the united states history. and given a tour candidate westmore will be the first black governor in the state of maryland. he is also only the third black governor in american history. reggie: that was the part that really hit home. only the third time. jobina: it's also a flip for the state as well, because they're coming off a republican governor. big changes there in maryland. reggie: thank you so much. jeff k drive in san francisco's linkin park is expected to remain car-free. proposition i would have permanently closed the roads to cars. about 60% of voters rejected the proposition. about the same amount of voters said yes to pass proposition j.

that measure officially affirmed the decision, keeping it car-free seven days a week, with a few exceptions. both measures needed 50% voter approval to pass. according to the department of elections, one would have superseded the other to become law. but that's not the case. kumasi: another big headline this morning, who won that massive $2 billion jackpot. there was one ticket that first sold in california. 10, 33, 41, 57, 56. the powerball number was 10. that was sold in altadena. the owner gets $1 million for selling it. he says he has sold many winning tickets, but nothing this big, and he was thrilled it was purchased in his area. >> people in this community, they are spending the money i missed ticket, they deserve to have a winner. kumasi: the winner has one year

to come forward. reggie: if a more exciting locally, someone in the bay now a millionaire. a ticket worth more than one million dollars was sold in san francisco. the ticket that matched five out of the six numbers was bought here at 1001 kapler street market. the owner says he has owned convenience stores for more than 40 years, but never had someone win a seven-figure price. >> i have been working here for 42 years. but not like this, no. reggie: the owner says he sold more than 500 tickets in just one day leading up to the big drawing. kumasi: this morning, emergency in florida. the state braces for another hurricane to make landfall. hurricane mornings have been issued across the coastline because of tropical storm nicole. it is expected to become a category one hurricane later today and the make landfall early tomorrow morning. three counties have already told residents to evacuate.
