Votes in the Los Angeles mayoral primary on June 2 are still being counted, but some social media users — and President Donald Trump — are already contesting the potential outcome and suggesting it’s fraudulent.
Conservative influencer Rogan O’Handley, known as @DC_Draino on X, in a June 7 post said: “Nithya Raman already gave a concession speech. Think about that. Not even she believed it was possible to make the top 2. But greedy machine Dems are still pumping her fake votes to get Spencer out of the top 2. Insane levels of fraud.”
The latest election results update on June 7 shows that incumbent mayor Karen Bass is leading, followed by city councilwoman Nithya Raman and Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV personality. Raman moved to second place in the latest update after an early vote count June 2 showed her out of the running. The top two in the race will advance to a Nov. 3 runoff.
Raman spoke on election night before the release of any initial results. C-SPAN titled her speech a “concession speech,” but at no point during her remarks did she concede. There are also no concession speeches or messages in her official social media campaign accounts.
Raman on election night thanked the city, her campaign and family, and spoke about campaign challenges and victories.
