AP projects: Rep. Karen Bass defeats billionaire Rick Caruso to become LA Mayor

Her opponent Rick Caruso had a slight lead on Bass in the LA mayoral race last Wednesday morning, with 51.3% of the vote while Bass has 48.8%.

She's made it clear that if she's elected to the city's top office her No. 1 priority would be to get a handle on the homelessness crisis. "It ultimately will require the city council members, themselves, to seed their power over land use to the mayor," said Sarah Sadhwani, assistant professor of politics at Pomona College."City council has been divided on a host of issues recently, especially when trying to tackle the homeless issue... It's unclear whether the city council would want to seed this power to her or anyone who wins this mayoral election.

Bass also wanted to address the factors that forces people onto the streets to begin with, including mental health and substance abuse. "You can have housing in place for folks but it doesn't mean you'll get them into homes," she said."But it seems from her comments that Karen Bass understands that distinction."

Great, we're fucked. Guess it's time to move 🤷

The LA Democrat Mafia Machine had to work overtime to pull off that win. I feel sorry for LA . The city is broken but isn’t able to rid itself of the people who created the mess.

Voted In Mass for Karen Bass

🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤣

Bass will be poison for LA.

I’m embarrassed for Los Angeles

Unbelievable 🤦‍♂️🤮

More crime

The Scientology cult, the deadbeat homeless, and violent crime win, and all those parties are so pleased they can get even worse. Also, four more years of speeches less interesting than watching paint dry, just like Garcettii bored us to sleep with for eight years.

Wait, are they allowed to say woman? Bass will do nothing for LA except get richer Right that down

Also the first Fidel Castro protégé.

Terrible

🙄🙄🙄🙄. LIES
