Jewish Voters Could Tip the Scales in L.A. Mayor Race
Los Angeles' tightly contested mayoral primary could hinge on its large Jewish electorate, with incumbent Karen Bass, councilmember Nithya Raman, and Republican Spencer Pratt all within striking distance in polls. Pratt has focused his campaign on a pro-Israel, safety-focused message to win Jewish support, while Raman has faced controversy over Israel comments and Bass remains the experienced incumbent. With notable Jewish donors backing Pratt, even small shifts in Jewish votes could determine which two candidates advance to the general election.
