Los Angeles’ progressive movement is showing fresh cracks, with a split happening in the middle of the city’s high-stakes mayoral race. Two more members of City Hall’s left-wing bloc — Eunisses Hernandez and Ysabel Jurado — told The Times on Tuesday they’re backing Mayor Karen Bass for reelection over fellow progressive challenger Nithya Raman, delivering a potentially painful blow to Raman’s support on the left. The endorsements from Hernandez and Jurado join fellow DSA-backed Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez in backing Bass — leaving Nithya Raman isolated as her fellow Democratic Socialists of America allies rally behind the mayor.
