California Mayor Bass Advances

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has advanced to a November runoff election in her bid for a second term, according to projections.

Her opponent in the one-on-one race remains unclear, with reality star Spencer Pratt and council member Nithya Raman vying for the spot.

Bass, who secured a spot despite not reaching 50% of the primary vote, will face a competitive general election.

The crowded and unpredictable mayoral race has drawn significant attention, with voters weighing experience against promises of change.
