“Karen Bass has never lost an election. But this fall, she faces the fight of her political life,” The Guardian reports.
“Bass has roughly a month to convince voters that she should be elected to a second term as the mayor of Los Angeles. Given Angelenos’ broad dissatisfaction with the direction of the city, approval ratings on par with Donald Trump’s and a wave of anti-establishment sentiment sweeping American politics, she has a formidable challenge in city council member Nithya Raman.”
“Chances are it’s not where Bass, who came back to run Los Angeles after a long and successful political career in Sacramento and Washington, had imagined she’d be.”
