Does Raman have a real shot for LA Mayor?
This post is about the LA Mayoral Race.
Now that Pratt is officially out of the race, I'm curious how people think the mayoral race changes.
Looking at the precinct map, it seems like Bass has very strong support across South LA and much of Central LA, while Raman performs much better on the Westside, parts of the Valley, and some Northeast LA neighborhoods.
My question is: where do Pratt's voters go now?
A lot of people in my social circle (mostly Asians, Valley residents, and people around Pacific Palisades) strongly dislike Bass, which makes me wonder if I'm living in a political bubble. Based on the map, Bass still appears to have a very large geographic and demographic base.
Do you think Raman has a realistic path to victory from those Pratt vote, or is Bass still the clear favorite despite anti-incumbent sentiment in some parts of the city?
Interested in hearing perspectives from people outside my own circles.
