Bass Faces Tough Runoff Challenge

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is racing to win a second term in a tight runoff election, facing off against Republican reality TV star Spencer Pratt and progressive councilmember Nithya Raman. Pratt, who lost his home in the deadly wildfire, is whipping up voter anger over homelessness and city neglect, while Bass defends her record—highlighting drops in homelessness and homicides—despite being abroad during the disaster. Pratt’s campaign, bolstered by a Trump endorsement, contrasts sharply with Bass’s Democratic backing and her message of steady progress. With California’s vote counting still fluid, the outcome remains uncertain as LA voters decide who will lead through turbulent times.
