Nithya Raman is preparing to take control of Los Angeles City Hall with promises to oust the LAPD chief, slash homelessness and overhaul billions in taxpayer spending, but the Democratic Socialists of America-backed mayor-elect faces a City Council where she has made plenty of enemies. The 45-year-old councilwoman inherits America’s second-largest city with 45,194 homeless residents, a depleted police force, mounting financial pressures and the 2028 Olympics less than two years away. 5 Nithya Raman speaks during an election rally at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
