Nithya Raman, supported by the Democratic Socialists of America, won the Los Angeles mayoral race against incumbent Karen Bass. Raman's campaign focused on homelessness, a pressing issue in the city. She is the first candidate to defeat an incumbent mayor since 2005. Raman, an urban planner and council member, emphasized her unique identity and plans for affordable housing and improved public services. Bass, the first female mayor, faced criticism for her handling of homelessness and recent disasters. The DSA claims to be the largest socialist organization in U.S. history, appealing to a younger electorate with progressive ideals.
