In the Los Angeles mayoral primary, Karen Bass received a plurality of the vote, yet her share was under 50%, so she must compete in the November general election. As of Wednesday morning, with over 60% of ballots counted, former reality television personality Spencer Pratt led with 30% of the vote, while city councilor Nithya Raman trailed at 22%.

    1. I'd like to see him do well … I heard he's a big Maga person.

    1. You think it's easier to run against the incumbent mayor with all the unions, or a random city council member who's been a failure for six years?
    2. I'm going to show everybody that I'm their mayor.
    3. I'm an Angeleno who said, 'Enough is enough,' and I had to step up.
    4. This idea that I don't represent Democrats and Republicans and independents — anyone that's just a Los Angeles citizen that wants basic quality of life — I'll be able to show that in five months.
    5. I'm a lifelong Angeleno who's seen my home city waste away under poor leadership. THAT is my experience.

    1. I have devoted my entire life to serving the city that I love, where I was born, and I'm going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November.
    2. I appreciate you for standing with me when others doubted me, because you know who I am.
    3. We're going to build a city where parents and kids do not have to navigate tents because in the nation's second-largest city, there should never be anybody that is sleeping on our streets. We are a city that can deal with this, and we have been doing it, and we are going to continue.
    4. We can have the city that we know we all deserve.

    1. Here in California, we've had a lot of well-intentioned laws for a long time that slow down things like building housing, recovering from a fire, being able to get public transportation or get high-speed rail done.
    2. I don't think this is about partisanship. I think people want results.

    1. Many thousands of votes will be counted in the days ahead, and we may not get an answer we like.
    2. Tonight may not give us a final answer on this race.
