Bass Heads to Runoff as LA Race Tightens
Description
Karen Bass is locked in for a second term as LA mayor after securing the top spot in the November runoff — but the real drama’s just beginning. Her opponent in the November showdown remains uncertain, with Democrat Nithya Raman and Republican reality star Spencer Pratt battling for the second slot. Pratt’s attacking Bass over the Palisades Fire, promising safety and homelessness solutions, while Raman, an urban planner, is pushing for housing and jobs — arguing Bass hasn’t done enough. California’s jungle primary system means the top two advance regardless of party, and with LA’s massive challenges — including homelessness and the 2028 Olympics — the stakes couldn’t be higher. Meanwhile, the governor’s race is still too close to call, with Steve Hilton, Xavier Becerra, and billionaire Tom Steyer all in the mix. With midterms looming, California voters are making bold choices on housing, safety, and the economy — and the nation is watching.
