Three Days Later, Los Angeles Still Hasn’t Called The Race

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.

The battle now centers on whether Raman can somehow erase Pratt’s substantial lead and capture the second runoff spot.
