What's behind this
Nithya V Raman, a 44‑year‑old Indian‑born democratic socialist who previously worked on behalf of Chennai’s marginalised residents, entered the Los Angeles mayoral race after initially endorsing incumbent Karen Bass. Backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, she is reported to have defeated Bass, becoming the first South Asian (Indian‑American) mayor of Los Angeles, the United States’ second‑largest city. Her victory is described as a historic shift, making Los Angeles and New York the two largest U.S. cities led by Indian‑origin Democratic Socialists. Some reports still describe the contest as a close race.
