Vote counting continues in the Los Angeles mayoral primary election, with Congresswoman Karen Bass having secured her place in the November runoff but her opponent still undetermined.

Reality television personality Spencer Pratt has emerged as a potential candidate for the general election runoff against Bass. Pratt, known for his appearances on MTV reality shows, has positioned himself as a mayoral contender despite his background in entertainment rather than politics.

Election officials are still processing mail-in ballots, which have shown shifts in the vote totals as counting progresses. The late-arriving ballots have affected the standings of candidates competing for the second runoff position.

Another candidate, Raman, has seen her vote totals increase with the processing of mail ballots, potentially positioning her to advance to the general election instead of Pratt. The final determination of Bass's November opponent depends on the completion of ballot counting.

The Los Angeles mayoral race has drawn attention for its mix of traditional political figures and candidates from entertainment backgrounds. The general election is scheduled for November, with the winner set to lead the nation's second-largest city.
