Summary
Mayor Karen Bass says she’s holding down two jobs right now: by day she’s focused on her current job as mayor of Los Angeles, but after hours, she’s working non-stop on her re-election campaign. It’s the final stretch before the primaries on June 2nd., and according to the most recent poll numbers, Bass is leading the pack. However, former reality star Spencer Pratt is making headway, right behind the mayor at 22 percent. Bass says she takes nothing for granted, and with President Trump’s recent endorsement of Pratt seemingly welcome news for a very liberal leaning city, the mayor says she is working hard to secure another 4 years on the job.
