Big Update In The Los Angeles Mayor’s Race

Raman, a progressive member of the Los Angeles City Council, has garnered support for housing policy and homelessness reform

Pratt, on the other hand, entered the race as a political outsider despite being a Republican.

In addition to criticizing Bass’s response to the Palisades wildfire, which resulted in the loss of his home, he has run on a platform of public safety.

Shortly before the election, a UC Berkeley–LA Times poll revealed Bass just ahead in a closely packed field, with the incumbent mayor at 26 percent, Raman at 25 percent, and Pratt at 22 percent—all within the poll’s margin of error

However, the poll indicated that Raman would be ahead of Bass in a hypothetical head-to-head contest with 32 percent to 28 percent of registered voters.

According to the same survey, the current mayor would defeat Pratt 47 percent to 29 percent in a hypothetical contest.
