Raman’s 27.12% edges out Pratt’s 26.69%, while Bass leads with 34.68%. Pratt’s third-place finish ends his mayoral bid, though his campaign’s controversial ad—filming at Raman’s and Bass’s homes—sparked backlash, especially after Raman condemned Pratt for filming outside her family’s home. Pratt, living in a trailer since wildfires destroyed his home, framed his campaign as a truth-telling revolt against a broken system he says protects the powerful. The race is now set for a decisive showdown in November. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
