Nithya Raman Courts Pratt Voters After Reaching 2-Way LA Mayoral Runoff

Summary
Nithya Raman used her first post-primary press conference to target Spencer Pratt supporters, arguing Los Angeles residents want basic city services fixed and a new direction at City Hall.
Raman said Pratt had tapped into real frustration over city failures on core functions, tying that anger to broader distrust over homelessness and affordable housing policy.
The runoff now pits Raman against Mayor Karen Bass, her former ally, in a race analysts say is harder for Bass than her 2022 contest against Rick Caruso because Raman can run as both a progressive and a change candidate.
Bass has already started attacking Raman as weak on crime and insufficiently tough on homelessness, setting up a sharper ideological contrast before the November election.
