Nithya Raman overtakes Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles mayoral race
Raman now leads by about 3,100 votes as election officials count nearly 150,000 remaining ballots, according to the Associated Press.
- On Sunday, Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman overtook Spencer Pratt for second place in the mayoral primary, leading by 3,113 votes with 196,198 to 193,085 according to the county registrar, though roughly 150,000 ballots remain uncounted.
- Pratt held an initial 41,000-vote advantage after Tuesday's in-person ballots were counted, but California's seven-day mail ballot window allowed late-arriving ballots to be processed, with progressive voters holding ballots longer than conservatives, shifting the race toward Raman.
- In the latest ballot drop, Raman secured 23,514 votes versus Pratt's 10,336, more than double his gain, while she won about 40% of weekend batches compared to his 18%, gaining 43,000 total votes on him since election night.
- NBC4 political contributor Dr. Fernando Guerra said "the trends are very much in favor of Councilmember Raman to overtake Spencer Pratt," while Bass campaign spokesperson Alex Stack attacked Raman over homelessness and entertainment industry jobs, previewing the November matchup.
- President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that Republicans are being cheated and called for a Justice Department investigation, while Elon Musk amplified debunked conspiracy theories; the RNC announced it is fighting in the Supreme Court to block late ballot counting before the July 10 certification deadline.
