Episode Details

The DSA’s LA chapter just threw its full weight behind Nithya Raman for mayor after she won a landslide internal vote—signaling a major boost for her insurgent campaign against the incumbent. Though she’s been a longtime DSA member and championed key progressive wins like renter protections, tensions have simmered: she’s backed police budget hikes, tweaked the mansion tax, and clashed publicly with the group over its post-Hamas statement. Most recently, she faced censure for accepting a liberal Zionist endorsement. Yet despite these fractures, the DSA is now putting her at the top of their slate for November’s elections—and backing other candidates too, making this endorsement a pivotal moment in her bid to lead.
