Vice President Kamala Harris will swear in Los Angeles Mayor-elect Karen Bass at her inauguration ceremony Sunday.
Besides Harris, Bass was endorsed by a number of other big-name politicians, including President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Bass handily defeated developer Rick Caruso in what many had expected to be a tight race to become the 43rd mayor of L.A. She will take over for outgoing Mayor Eric Garcetti, another Democrat. As of late last week, Bass had received 509,852 votes while Caruso had received 419,950 votes , according to Friday’s vote tally update from the L.A. County registrar’s office. The registrar was expected to certify the election results on Monday, Dec. 5.
Although Bass’ term as mayor won’t start until Monday, Dec. 12, she will hold her inaugural ceremony a day early “to make it easier for Angelenos to attend and to ensure her first day as mayor is dedicated to bringing unhoused Angelenos inside and making our city safer and more livable for all,” the Office of the Mayor-elect said in a news release.
