The recent ballot-count revealed a significant advantage for recall proponents, with 64% of voters favoring the recall and only 36% opposing it. This deficit suggests a nearly impossible recovery for Thao.
Despite the alarming numbers against her, Mayor Sheng Thao has not conceded the race. She thanked Governor Newsom for extending CHP's assistance in Oakland but has been notably absent from social media.
Thao's political challenges began over a year ago, primarily due to rising crime rates and contention with the Police Commission over the selection of a new police chief.
The investigation into Thao, linked to campaign funding issues and a suspicious FBI raid, may have contributed to the negative perception surrounding her leadership and led to the mobilization for her recall.
