The Alameda County Board of Supervisors would appoint an interim replacement until the voters choose a new permanent successor in 2026.

U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell, Price's direct predecessor Nancy O'Malley, all 14 county police unions, and the San Francisco Chronicle supported the recall,[5][6][7][8] while U.S. Representative Barbara Lee and state senator Nancy Skinner had expressed opposition.

Los Angeles County DA George Gascón lost re-election to the more conservative attorney Nathan Hochman.

Additionally, Alameda County also voted by 23 points to repeal the 2014 California proposition that reduced many felonies such as shoplifting to misdemeanors.
