Spencer Pratt Taunts Karen Bass As Election Results Trickle In

Yet despite an eight-point gap and hundreds of thousands of ballots already counted, officials and media outlets continue describing the race as too close to call.

As additional ballots have been processed, Pratt’s lead has narrowed somewhat, though he remains comfortably ahead.

The latest vote update shows Pratt at 29.4 percent compared to Raman’s 23.4 percent, leaving him with a six-point advantage.

Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass remains in first place with roughly 35 percent of the vote and is all but certain to advance to the November runoff.
