Where the Los Angeles Mayor’s Race Stands
Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Councilmember Nithya Raman polled neck and neck ahead of Election Night The post Where the Los Angeles Mayor’s Race Stands appeared first on TheWrap .
The Los Angeles mayoral race remains uncertain following Tuesday night's polling, with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and challenger Nithya Raman tied, each securing 50.7% and 49.3% of the vote respectively, as of 50% vote count. Bass, who hosted an election night party in Hollywood at the Loews Hotel, leads over Raman, who held a party at the Greek Theater.
A recent poll showed both candidates neck and neck, with 40% of likely voters supporting Bass and 40% backing Raman, while 20% were still undecided. Bass, who hadn't led a poll since August, expressed confidence in her victory despite her record during the Palisades fires and the slower progress on LA28. Raman, who had previously endorsed Bass, is running to "fix a broken city" under Bass, criticizing her on budget-breaking contracts.
Both candidates addressed the Democratic Party's nationwide midterm election wins, with Bass urging voters for four more years to continue progress on homelessness, housing, affordability, and public safety.
