    "she has advanced to a runoff against incumbent mayor Karen Bass"
  ],
  "textContent": "Following a flood of mail-in votes favoring Nithya Raman over TV reality star, and complete nut job Spencer Pratt, she has advanced to a runoff against incumbent mayor Karen Bass.\n\nThe Republicans, of course, are alleging vote fraud, but there is no evidence of this.\n\n> Nithya Raman had 115 days to make her case to Los Angeles voters.\n>\n> The City Council member made a surprise late entry into the mayor’s race, the last of the major candidates to file for the primary. That left little time for her to form a campaign team, build her name recognition and persuade voters that she would be the best choice to lead the city.\n>\n> On Monday, the Associated Press called the race, concluding that Raman would have enough votes to make a Nov. 3 runoff against Mayor Karen Bass, the first-place finisher who secured her spot in the showdown last week.\n>\n> Reality television personality Spencer Pratt, who was in second place on election night, saw his lead over Raman steadily erode as mail-in ballots postmarked as late as June 2 were counted.\n>\n> On Monday, Raman widened her gap over Pratt to nearly 3 percentage points. Bass had 34.3% of the vote, compared with 28.6% for Raman and 25.8% for Pratt, the latest results showed.\n\nHere's hoping that Raman cleans Bass' clock in the general election. Bass' tenure of mayor has been defined by pro-developer, anti-homeless, and pro police union actions.",
