Raman Slightly Gains on Pratt for Second in LA Mayoral Race
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman Thursday again gained ground on former television reality star Spencer Pratt in the race to join incumbent Karen Bass in a November runoff election for mayor.
An updated vote tally Thursday showed Pratt with 29.35% of the vote, compared to 23.42% for Raman, with Pratt holding a lead of 33,076 votes. Wednesday afternoon, Pratt had a 40,301-vote lead over Raman.
Bass maintained her lead with 35.08% of the vote.
It was unknown how many ballots still remain to be tallied. Additional election-day ballots will be counted, with final results not expected for several weeks as county officials continue processing vote-by-mail, provisional and other outstanding ballots.
