LA mayor's race: Raman advances to face Bass in runoff, Pratt out

Incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will face City Councilmember Nithya Raman, according to the Associated Press' projections. With 93% of votes counted on Monday, June 8, Bass had the most votes among mayoral candidates in the June 2 primary with 275,992 (34.3%) with Raman taking the No. 2 spot with 229,576 (28.6%). Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is essentially eliminated from the Nov. 2026 ballot after getting the third most votes with 207,757 (25.8%). Bass, who previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 11 years, faced a crowded race of 13 opponents that included Councilmember Nithya Raman and Spencer Pratt. While Raman and Pratt led fundraising efforts, Angelenos voted to give Bass another chance. Raman, a former ally of Karen Bass, announced her candidacy at the last minute by filing paperwork on Feb. 7, which was the last day to file paperwork to enter the race.
