Karen Bass, Spencer Pratt Likely to Face Off in General Election

Los Angeles Democrat Mayor Karen Bass is moving on to a runoff election after failing to secure the 51% of votes required to win outright in a reelection campaign that has garnered global attention.

As Bass attempts to win a second term as mayor of Los Angeles, she has faced intense political criticism from both the left and the right.

Challenger Spencer Pratt has criticized Bass from the right for not holding the government responsible for things like disaster response and homelessness.

Nithya Raman, a fellow Democratic candidate from the left, has criticized Bass for not doing enough to advance affordability.
