Indian-origin Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman surged past Spencer Pratt after days of ballot counting to secure a place in the city's mayoral runoff election. The dramatic comeback triggered a furious response from President Donald Trump, who alleged without evidence that the election was being manipulated. Election officials say the shift reflects California's standard mail-ballot counting process. If Raman defeats incumbent Karen Bass in November, she will become the first Indian-American mayor of Los Angeles, marking a historic moment in American politics.#NithyaRaman #Trump #LosAngeles #LAMayorRace #CaliforniaElection #BreakingNews #USPolitics #Election2026 #KarenBass #SpencerPratt #IndianAmerican #TrumpNews #LosAngelesPolitics #WorldNews #ElectionControversy
