## Resource

The LA mayor race is heating up as Nithya Raman surges into second place, narrowly edging out reality star Spencer Pratt in a tight Democratic vs. Republican showdown against incumbent Karen Bass. With mail-in ballots still being counted under California’s seven-day window, the outcome remains uncertain — and some Republicans are already spreading unfounded fraud claims. Raman, backed by Democratic Socialists, promises infrastructure and housing reforms, while Pratt, leveraging his fame, focuses on homelessness and wildfires. Whoever wins the runoff will shape LA’s future — and the general election could hinge on voters’ judgment of Bass’s leadership.
