Failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has endorsed Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for reelection, claiming that she stamped out crime and homelessness, a downright lie.
In addition to not stamping out either of those serious issues, Bass oversaw the disastrous response to the 2024 wildfires in southern California, which have left thousands of homes still sitting in piles of rubble, unable to rebuild almost a year and a half later.
If ever there was a city in desperate need of new leadership, Los Angeles is it.

Kamala Harris endorses Karen Bass for LA mayor, claiming she’s stamped out crime and homelessness
Kamala Harris has weighed in on the LA mayor’s race and issued endorsements in several other contests — but refused to back a gubernatorial candidate.
The former VP, who now lives in Malibu, endorsed incumbent Karen Bass for mayor of the second-largest city in the US.
“She has my full support for re-election,” the Democrat said.
The two have known each other for more than two decades and were once rumored rivals for the vice presidency when Joe Biden pledged to select a woman as his running mate in 2020.
Bass, who is serving her first term, was sworn in as mayor while Harris was still serving as vice president…
“Mayor Karen Bass is the leader Los Angeles needs right now. She has done what so many said couldn’t be done — the first-ever two-year decline in homelessness, reducing crime to levels this city hasn’t seen since the 1960s, and refusing to back down when the federal government came after our neighbors,” Harris said in a statement.
