Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and challenger Nithya Raman crisscrossed the city Monday in a last-minute scramble for votes, wrapping up a bruising campaign that exposed deep frustration over homelessness, public safety and the future of America’s second-largest city. Bass told the California Post Monday morning she was feeling confident heading into Election Day, as both candidates made their final appeals to voters in a city grappling with 45,194 homeless residents, a shrinking police force and soaring living costs. “I don’t take anything for granted, but I can tell you that I think the undecideds have begun to shift,” she said.
