Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Endorses Incumbent Karen Bass in Los Angeles Mayoral Race
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has endorsed incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Bass, representing the Democratic establishment, is also backed by other prominent Democratic figures including Governor Gavin Newsom and former Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as influential labor unions. Bass is currently fighting to retain her position after a challenging first term marked by issues such as the Palisades Fire and ongoing struggles with homelessness. Her opponent, City Council member Nithya Raman, is supported by the Democratic Socialists of America and is campaigning on a platform to address long-standing urban problems like housing construction, job creation in the entertainment industry, and improving city services.
