Why the Odds Changed
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is expected to finish first in the June 2026 mayoral primary as she seeks another term leading the city.
Recent Developments
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is on track to place first in the opening round of the city’s 2026 mayoral election, scheduled for June 2, as she prepares to defend her record on homelessness, public safety, housing and city services.
The primary will determine whether Bass or another candidate can secure a majority outright. If no candidate receives more than half the vote, the top contenders will advance to a November runoff. Bass’s position as the incumbent gives her a major advantage in a race expected to focus heavily on affordability, homelessness response and the city’s preparations for major global events.
Official results will be certified by Los Angeles election authorities after ballots are counted. The outcome of the first round will set the tone for the remainder of the campaign and determine whether Bass can avoid a more competitive general election contest later in the year.
