Democratic socialist Nithya Raman defeats Karen Bass in the L.A. mayor’s race
City Council member Nithya Raman has defeated incumbent Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race, NBC News projects, capping off a rapid political ascent for a progressive challenger who railed against the “broken status quo” in the country’s second-largest metropolis.

What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Democratic socialist Nithya Raman overtaking Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayor’s race, with each framing it through Raman’s progressive politics. NBC News states the outcome as a projection and adds that Raman’s campaign targeted the “broken status quo,” while Reason uses a more anticipatory headline, “set to oust,” and alone extends the frame to say DSA mayors are set to run New York, L.A., and Washington, D.C.
