Karen Bass and Nithya Raman are in a tight race for L.A. mayor in early returns, and the race may not be called for days.
Bass was expected to speak at the Los Angeles County Democratic Party celebration. Bass held a narrow, 1-point lead in the initial ballots — which could be precarious given how well Raman performed with late-arriving ballots in the primary.
The Kalshi odds, which had been slightly favoring Bass before the first ballots were counted, tipped heavily in Raman’s favor afterward. But Bass’ allies sought to convey an upbeat note.
