Story summary

On November 5, 2026, Nithya Raman, a democratic socialist and member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), defeated incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral election. With just over 52% of the vote to Bass's nearly 48%, Raman secured a narrow but decisive victory. This marks the second major win for a DSA candidate as mayor of a large U.S. city, following Zohran Mamdani's election in New York City last year. Raman's success reflects growing voter dissatisfaction with Bass’s leadership amid issues like wildfires and rising homelessness in Los Angeles.
