US Democratic Congresswoman Karen Bass finished solidly ahead of her rival, billionaire real estate developer Rick Caruso, in the final tally of the Los Angeles mayoral primary, a reversal from early results.
Bass got 43.1% support in the June 7 vote compared with Caruso’s 36%, according to the certified tally from the county clerk’s office announced on Friday. The two candidates now will face off in a Nov. 8 general election after failing to secure an outright majority -- or more than 50% of the votes -- needed to win the first-round.
