Karen Bass, Nithya Raman Proved They’re Both Awful at LA’s Mayoral Debate

LA Mayor Karen Bass and Councilmember Nithya Raman faced off in the first mayoral debate of the general election, and both managed to earn terrible grades.

For 90 minutes at the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association, the two attacked each other, interrupted each other, and told each other what a bad job they were doing.

It was hard to disagree.

At one point, even the moderator lost patience.

During an exchange on homelessness, he scolded both candidates. “The audience doesn’t know who to believe, and they don’t have a lot of confidence that either of you have a definitive plan.”
