Summary
Decision Desk HQ projected Karen Bass and Nithya Raman into Los Angeles' November mayoral runoff, setting up an all-Democratic contest.
34.68% of the vote put Bass in first, while Raman took 27.12%, narrowly ahead of Republican reality TV figure Spencer Pratt at 26.69%, according to Los Angeles County data.
That 0.43-point gap left Pratt just short of the runoff despite a competitive showing, making the second-place finish the key threshold in the race.
The result sends incumbent Mayor Bass into a head-to-head November election against City Councilmember Raman for leadership of the nation's second-largest city.
