Karen Bass widens lead over Rick Caruso in LA mayor’s race
LOS ANGELES â Rep. Karen Bass has widened her lead to more than 6 percentage points over developer Rick Caruso in the Los Angeles mayor's race, according to results released Friday by the county Registrar-Recorder's office.
Bass has 42.9% to Caruso's 36.3%, with a vote margin of more than 40,000, the results show.
Caruso initially led Bass by after the June 7 election. But that order flipped as hundreds of thousands of vote-by-mail ballots were processed by county workers in subsequent days.
