Mayor Karen Bass' once ally, Nithya Raman, shocked City Hall by entering the race at the deadline. Meanwhile, reality TV star and Palisades Fire victim Spencer Pratt has encapsulated some of the anger voters are feeling.
At Pann's Diner in Westchester on Monday, Bass told Eyewitness News she's not concerned about being shut out of the November runoff.

"I don't. There are lots and lots of polls out there. I do not have concern. I would never, ever be cavalier. I would never just be presumptuous. But I don't know that any candidate is. But, on the other hand, I think I will be fine," Bass said.
Bass acknowledged that voters are holding their ballots, but she believes uncertainty in the governor's race is what's causing them to do so. She's asking voters to give her four more years to finish what she started.
"If you are still undecided, remember this. Homelessness is down for the first time in years and years," Bass said. "Forty-two thousand units of affordable housing, and more to come. Crime is at a 60-year drop. So we have a lot to look forward to in our city."
Bass had this to say about Raman:
"She's reduced homelessness in her district. She claims credit for it. That's the work of Inside Safe. That's what we did out of the mayor's office to help her, just like we help all the members of the city council," Bass said.

While campaigning in Boyle Heights, Raman responded:
"Her work does represent a change in L.A.'s trajectory. I think we can do more. I think we've been spending an extraordinary amount of money for incremental results without delivering on accountability for residents," Raman said. "My fear is that Angelenos who have taxed themselves and have been willing to tax themselves multiple times to respond to the crisis on our streets with housing and services will lose faith in this system if we don't build trust with them. That's what my approach builds. That's what I want to deliver for residents. I want people to feel a palpable change and trust that every dollar is being spent with accountability."

Pratt didn't have any public campaign events on Monday, but he did post a video on social media, ramping up his attacks on Raman, who was ahead of him in a poll released last week.
"At this point, voting for Nithya is a wasted vote. It's me versus Karen. It's change versus more of the same," Pratt said.
Bass urged voters at Pann's Diner not to vote for Pratt.
"It's not just that he has no experience in city government. I don't know if he's ever held a job in his life other than to be a reality TV star. I think he doesn't know the issues. He's operating out of anger," she said.
If any candidate for mayor receives over 50% of the vote on Tuesday, they will win the race outright. If not, the two candidates with the most votes will move on to the November runoff.
