Karen Bass heads to LA mayoral runoff but challenger yet to be determined

Incumbent leads in primary, but with less than 50% of votes must face either Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman

Los Angeles's high-profile mayoral contest remained unsettled Wednesday evening as the city waited to learn who will join incumbent Karen Bass in November's general election.

Bass came out ahead in Tuesday's heated primary but, after securing less than 50% of the vote, she'll have to defend her seat against either Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV star, or progressive city council member Nithya Raman. As of Wednesday evening, with more than 60% of votes counted, Pratt had secured just under 30% of the vote, while Raman had won nearly 23%.
