Rick Caruso confirmed Thursday that he will not run in the Los Angeles mayoral election after teasing a potential return to the race a day earlier. “Rick is incredibly moved by outpouring of support but reached an earlier decision in a thoughtful process and it stands,” Caruso political adviser Mike Murphy told the Los Angeles Times, referring to the billionaire real estate developer’s decision last month to drop out of both the mayor’s and California governor’s races. Caruso teased a return to the race after reports Mayor Karen Bass altered a Palisades wildfire report.
