On Monday, Rep. Karen Bass widen her lead on candidate Rick Caruso, gaining over 52% of the electorate.
Rep. Karen Bass has widened her lead over billionaire Rick Caruso in the race to become Los Angeles' next mayor.
However, by Thursday Caruso's nearly 12,000 vote lead was drastically cut down to 2,695 ballots. Bass cut into his slight lead, garnering 49.75% of the vote compared to Caruso's 50.25%. But, on Friday Bass, who was considered the favorite in the race, had pulled ahead of her opponent. She now has a slim lead over Caruso, pulling in 50.38% of the vote compared to his 49.62%.
She widen her lead yet again Monday afternoon, gaining 52.15% of the vote compared to Caruso's 47.85%. The race has been shaped in large part by Caruso's lavish spending — and his unavoidable advertising. City records show his campaign expenses have topped $100 million so far, most of it financed with his own money.
