LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris jointly endorsed U.S. Rep. Karen Bass on Tuesday to become the next mayor of Los Angeles, providing a boost to her campaign against billionaire developer Rick Caruso and cementing her place as the favorite of the Democratic establishment.
In a statement, Biden and Harris said they were eager to work with Bass and her “innovative strategies” to deal with the city’s homeless crisis and rising crime rates.
The endorsement was not a surprise. Bass was on Biden’s short list when he was selecting a vice president and Harris, a fellow Californian, has known the congresswoman for years.
“L.A. needs fresh leadership,” Caruso added. “The same old from establishment politicians won’t stop this city from sliding into an even more desperate situation.”
In his first run for public office, Caruso has picked up some celebrity backing, including from Snoop Dogg and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Biden and Harris not doing endorsing or rallies in Swing Districts.
Both of them are poison in swing districts.
Thats it then. This race is over.
its really a waste of time. LA will just vote for the most leftwing candidate automatically.
Is the author sure about that? :)
an Harris endorsement is the kiss of death
Biden’s not much better
who’s the opponent these clowns are backing?
Karen Bass
Another black lezbo mayor, how clichéd.
Ms. Bass will be dancing on Oprah’s couch pretty soon!
Detroit………White male, Irish Lad, Mike Duggan.
How did he manage that? Detroit is about 80% black and 9% white.
Did blacks finally come to their senses and voted for competence over race?
He Democrats. Keep voting for the same kind of Democratic losers that have been wrecking California for years ... I haven’t had a good laugh for months.
He’s a Leftist, and had the full Democrat machine backing him.
Hey, KAREN! We the People want to speak to YOUR manager!🤬
We had one before and he (Bradley) nearly ran the city into the ground. It took a white mayor (Richard Riordan) to fix the mess and make LA great. Now the left is back running back into the ground again. Bass will finish the job of destroying this city.
Oh my she looks nasty , LA will be sorry ,LOL
If Biden and Harris provide a boost to her campaign, it means that LA is probably beyond hope.
“Are there any major cities left that doesn’t have a black mayor?”
The problem is not that they are black. The problem is they are all leftist black women. I’m Jewish and, unfortuately, the Jews who go into politics are almost all leftists too.
Might as well give it back to Mexico.
