At least now Angelinos can vote in the general for a Democrat as opposed to that piece of MAGA garbage. I'm sure Bass would have rather run against Pratt, but this will ensure we don't accidently end up with a fool in the Mayors office.

Wouldn't having a reality star as president sour people on electing reality stars to any kind of public office? I mean, one completely unqualified person is bad enough, but does LA really want that for their city? Have we learned nothing from DJT?
