LA Mayor’s Race Tightens As Socialist Raman Advancing

Some election experts continue to view Pratt as the favorite to secure the second runoff spot, though confidence in that prediction has weakened as additional results have been released.

For Pratt, the goal is simple: maintain enough of his current advantage to survive the late-ballot surge.

For Raman, the path remains narrow but increasingly plausible, election watchers have noted.
