In a Los Angeles local race, a Democratic socialist candidate ousted Bass. Democratic strategist Darby Levin described the contest as a referendum on a mayor who has not met expectations.

Levin told JNS that observers often seek larger referendums in such elections but overlook the candidates themselves and the micro-level details of the race.
