The morning after election night, things were looking good for billionaire Rick Caruso. Despite his underdog status, he held a small margin over Congresswoman Karen Bass at that point.
But steadily over the next week, with each and every update, Bass gained increasingly more votes than Caruso. She is currently six points ahead of the real estate developer, or about 50,000 votes. Enough for the Associated Press to call the race in favor of Bass.
And with that, Karen Bass becomes L.A.'s first Black woman mayor.
But just barely.
