On November 4, 2020, results confirmed that Dyer had won the election and been reelected to a second term.[26] That morning, Wagner conceded to Dyer, saying in a statement that they "both agreed that what our city needs right now is unity, and I look forward to working with him to move our city forward and address the critical challenges we face. While I am disappointed in the outcome of the election, I am incredibly grateful for the support from friends, family, and our entire community."[27]
