LA voters split over Pratt and Bass as homelessness dominates mayoral race

Los Angeles voters are heading to Tuesday’s nonpartisan mayoral primary with homelessness at the center of the race. The vote will narrow the field to two candidates for November unless one candidate wins outright. Outside a grocery store in Westchester, residents told Fox News Digital they all see homelessness as the city’s biggest problem, but they differed on who should lead the response. Some backed independent candidate Spencer Pratt because he is outside the political establishment, while others said incumbent Mayor Karen Bass should get another term despite concerns about progress. The article also notes that some voters remain dissatisfied with all of the choices, while others see the race as a referendum on public safety and city conditions. Pratt, a registered Republican running as an independent, is competing against Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman in the primary.
