The second-place finisher will face off against the top vote getter, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, in November’s general election.<\/p>\n
As of the most recent tabulations, that would be City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.<\/p>\n
Raman, a progressive who reached the council with backing from the Democratic Socialists of America, ran to the left of Bass, who entered office with a traditional liberal background deployed in the California Assembly and U.S. House.<\/p>\n
Pratt’s campaign surged as he used his large social media following to reach voters with online video.<\/p>\n
The results as of Monday evening had Bass with 34.32% and 275,992 votes, Raman with 229,576 votes or 28.55% and Pratt, a Republican, with 207,757 votes or 25.83%. With no candidate near a 50% majority, the top two will advance to November’s general election.<\/p>\n
California doesn’t certify races until 30 days after election day, because of its dependence on mail-in ballots.<\/p>\n
In the first tallies released after the June 2 primary, Pratt was in second place. \ufeff<\/p>\n
