Nithya Raman’s mayoral campaign was supposed to be Los Angeles’ answer to Zohran Mamdani’s socialist uprising in New York City. Instead, the city councilwoman’s election night party may have perfectly captured why her campaign fizzled. Photos from Raman’s Tuesday night watch party at Boomtown Brewery in Downtown Los Angeles showed supporters dancing, cheering and chanting her name — even as early returns showed the far-left candidate falling behind Mayor Karen Bass and reality TV star-turned-political candidate Spencer Pratt.
