In the ongoing Los Angeles mayoral election, incumbent Karen Bass leads with 35% of the counted votes, while Spencer Pratt and City Councilmember Nithya Raman follow in second and third place, respectively. With 62% of the expected votes tallied, Pratt has claimed victory, although the Associated Press has not yet called the race. The analysis of 525,326 votes processed reveals that Bass retains strong support in South L.A., contrasting with Pratt's backing in wealthier areas like Pacific Palisades and Bel-Air. Raman, who represents parts of Los Feliz and Hollywood Hills, has struggled in her home district, winning only 12 precincts. The preliminary results indicate that Bass needs to secure over 50% of the vote to win outright, currently holding a five-point lead over Pratt. The situation remains fluid as approximately 300,000 ballots are still to be counted, with mail-in ballots accepted until June 2. The final results will be confirmed by the secretary of state in early July.
