Incumbent Karen Bass, City Councilmember Nithya Raman, and newcomer Spencer Pratt remain locked in a tight three-way contest ahead of the June 2 nonpartisan primary, where the top two finishers advance to the November runoff. Recent UC Berkeley-Los Angeles Times polling placed Bass at 26%, Raman at 25%, and Pratt at 22% among likely voters, with the latter two each gaining eight points since March while Bass held steady. Final-week campaigning has featured mutual attacks over homelessness, wildfire response, and affordability, alongside celebrity endorsements splitting support. Traders' heavy weighting toward a Bass-Pratt pairing reflects Pratt's rapid rise from a low base and Raman's more progressive positioning in a fragmented field, though any late shifts in turnout or undecided voters could alter the outcome before polls close.
