Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass withdraws from scheduled mayoral forum
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass withdrew from a mayoral candidate forum scheduled to air on Fox 11, citing a prior commitment in Sacramento to discuss housing, homelessness, and Palisades Fire recovery funding. The withdrawal came days after a debate in which Bass faced criticism over her handling of the fires, homelessness, and public safety, and made an on-air verbal gaffe. The League of Women Voters and Pat Brown Institute stated the withdrawal was disappointing and undermined democratic accountability.
