George Soros, Liberal Donors Lose California DA Races

New York billionaire George Soros and other wealthy donors appeared to come up short in California's primary races Tuesday, as voters appeared to reject liberal candidates they backed in three local races for district attorney.

Incumbents in Sacramento, San Diego, and Alameda counties led by large margins, according to unofficial results posted Wednesday by county elections officials, The Los Angeles Times reports.

A fourth race, in Contra Costa County, could see a runoff in November if results do not change.

Soros and the donors pumped millions of dollars into the three races, the Times reports, and he spent more than $2.7 million in the Golden State so far this cycle.
