In the ongoing Los Angeles mayoral race, former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is in second place, trailing incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, who has garnered 34.97% of the votes, amounting to 183,701 votes. Pratt follows closely with 29.91% (157,116 votes), while City Councilwoman Nithya Raman holds 22.81% (119,809 votes). The final results will take several days as additional ballots are counted. Bass, who aims to secure another four-year term, has pledged to tackle homelessness and improve public safety. However, she has faced backlash for her response to the dual homelessness crisis and the recent Palisades Fire, which destroyed numerous homes and resulted in fatalities. Pratt, whose own home was lost in the fire, is campaigning for change and plans to build a strong team for his runoff against Bass. Meanwhile, Raman, who recently entered the race, has criticized Bass's policies and advocates for a data-driven approach to address homelessness, indicating a competitive landscape as the election approaches.
