LA mayor's race: Raman advances to face Bass in runoff, Pratt out
Video Overview & Insights
Incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will face City Councilmember Nithya Raman, according to the Associated Press' projections.
So sad they have to steal elections to win. Mail in votes should be illegal.
With 93% of votes counted on Monday, June 8, Bass had the most votes among mayoral candidates in the June 2 primary with 275,992 (34.3%) with Raman taking the No. 2 spot with 229,576 (28.6%). Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is essentially eliminated from the Nov. 2026 ballot after getting the third most votes with 207,757 (25.8%).
Bass, who previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 11 years, faced a crowded race of 13 opponents that included Councilmember Nithya Raman and Spencer Pratt.
Yes, Federal Law 18 USC 597 clearly states you cannot bribe any individual for votes, even at the local level. Sending scouts out to pay Skid Row's homeless a few dollars a person (85% of which are drug-users who could be under the influence and not in sound state of mind) to fill out a mail-in ballot to vote Democrat counts as lawlessness under Federal regulations. 3,000 votes done in this manner could clearly ruin another candidate's legit chances in the race for LA County's Mayoral position, despite California has twice as many registered Democrat voters than registered Republican voters. It's not about who would have won anyhow. It's about being fair, even if Pratt was only in second place. Secondly, how is it that mass amounts of homeless people could use an address that they do not actually reside at, whereas Raman paid those programs in which the addresses were used? That is a thin line between crooked corruption and bribery, with loopholes. No wonder they've been getting away with it. Just like all those Medicaid/Medicare fraudulent claims using pretend medical facilities and charging for non-existent expenses. When does the corruption & fraud stop? You know, there are street cameras that record. If you review the footage from the beginning of May 2026 through June 2026 in the Skid Row area, I'm sure there will be evidence, especially since many influencers are posting actual footage of the occurrences, be it if it's an ongoing investigation. You should also investigate those addresses of such programs to see if they are as fraudulent as those medical facilities, whether they are also just a front. Besides that, what about the one mail-in ballot box that was vandalized? How would you count those missing ballots? What about the other mail-in box location that there was a fire at? How would you count those missing ballots? Besides over a 7% jump that Raman had in mail-in late ballots, which is highly strange and replaced herself instead of Pratt, I don't blame lots of people having their suspicions about irregularities that seem obvious.
While Raman and Pratt led fundraising efforts, Angelenos voted to give Bass another chance.
Raman, a former ally of Karen Bass, announced her candidacy at the last minute by filing paperwork on Feb. 7, which was the last day to file paperwork to enter the race.
Better be careful. California just passed a law that criminalizes exposing the Democrat's fraud.

@brendawhitney336Them ballot drops sure do benefit the Dems,go figure
@kkerns6202trump is aware evil democrats
@colin-v8q5hI finally figured it out now I know why Nithay Reman came in second and it was rigged because they know in November she hasn't got a chance in the world to win so they couldn't let Spencer win because in November he would have what is setup you have to be stupid to not see that
@deloresforest9358CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THEM!! We need to RALLY IN NOVEMBER!!! Make them regret taking LA cause now we SEE THEM CLEARLY and are not going to let it happen to the entire State!!! VOTE for Hilton!! Hell, I'll even learn how to voter harvest if I have to.
@discoveringjulieYour bullš© banner states: "Trump baselessly claims election rigging in CA elections". This & other similar bs is why you lost lots of viewers to newsmax. There are many reasons to believe there is election fraud, here is one: election day - Raman 20%, after - 40%; Pratt - 28% / 18% but Bass - 38% / 33%. Another: these 3 candidates got 86% election day, but 90% after. Another: there was at least one batch reporting some 20 or 30 thousand votes where Pratt got 0 ~ ZERO!
Those are not baseless! Prez Trump is right and so are tens of thousands of people who are calling bullš©, just like 2020 and you are wrong!
California will let you register to vote with a gym membership card and NO social security number.
But no fraud right guys?
Rigged
@tom6377Next will be Pitch Forks if they don't start listening to the citizens.
@Aethel-FieldsAny person who thinks for even 1 second that the california voting system isnt rigged is an uneducated fool and does not seek "truth" at all!
@frankbarbina9973It's called CHEATING...insane...where are the investigators...all dems counting votes...š¤Ŗš¤Ŗš¤Ŗ
@ngm5754With Bass as Mayor, LA is like a dying hospital patient. With Raman as Mayor, it's the last nail in the coffin.
@FrankGiallombardoI guess the Communist can cheat even better than the Democrats.
@michaelbockert8280DEMOCRATIC CALIFORNIA VOTERS - You must be the DUMBEST and more IDIOTIC citizens in AMERICA. Why in hell you guys continue to vote for HORRIBLE CANDIDATES like BASS and RAMAN who not only want to bring SOCIALISM, CORRUPTION, CRIME and FRAUD TO YOU but who have proven themselves to not solve ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL???? I tell you, it is now official... the US has become the #1 producer in the world of IDIOTS and MORONS who cannot analyze anything or make good decisions.
@ebt-evolutionbasketballtra9119Fisrt of all. The primary results were rigged and need to be investigated. Secondly, what idiots would vote for a proven failure in Bass? Do they like how L.A. is doing with its drugs and homeless problem? I thought the people of N.Y. were stupid electing a Communist mayor, but re-electing a mayor who was on vacation when her city burned down, just takes the cake. We must be lacking serious education in our schools.
@stubarnum7344California Mį»¹ tiĆŖu rį»i.
@danmr5489DĆ¢n Viį»t Cali tan vį»”.
@danmr5489The only way they ever win is to cheat!! Cheaters and Liars are all they are!!
@deedeemarberry2672LA is a banana republic: it deserves to fail
@neilenglish7433The California problem has to do with the stateās election laws. mail in tickets sent to the entire California population automatically sets up purposefully delays leading to embedded voter fraud. The California legislature must revisit this law and amend it to remove this statewide requirement.
@carpetempus1817There is multiple videos proving voter fraud in California ppl paying homeless ppl to register to vote there is fraud
