Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and her rivals spent the final weekend before Election Day criss-crossing the city as a surprisingly competitive mayoral race heads toward a possible runoff.
Bass, who is running for a second term, will face former reality star Spencer Pratt and city council member Nithya Raman in Tuesday’s primary election.
Recent polls have shown a competitive race, with no candidate expected to receive more than 50 percent of the vote. Then, the top two finishers will advance to the second round in November.
On Saturday, Bass, supported by high-profile Democrats including former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, stopped at the Yosemite Recreation Center in Eagle Rock.

During an Instagram live broadcast on Saturday, Bass also took aim at Pratt.
