Late-entry Raman clinches L.A. mayor runoff, redefining the race
TL;DR Summary
Nithya Raman entered LA’s mayoral race with just 115 days to go and surged into a runoff against Karen Bass as Spencer Pratt faded in the counting, thanks to a broad ground campaign, a strong fundraising push that unlocked the maximum $1.25 million in matching funds, and a strategy that framed Pratt as extreme while presenting Raman as the practical, well-run choice; a left-wing challenger faltered, leaving Raman to face Bass in November.
