\n Raman, a city councilmember, won about 40% of the nearly 48,000 votes Los Angeles County reported Sunday, winning 10,000 votes more than Pratt and leaving her about 3,000 votes ahead.\n <\/p>\n

\n Given the narrow margin and the votes still to be counted, CNN is not projecting which of the two will join Mayor Karen Bass in the November election.\n <\/p>\n

\n Raman overtaking Pratt was becoming increasingly likely in recent days.\n <\/p>\n

\n Across all votes reported in the June 2 primary since the close of election night counting, Raman has outperformed both Bass and Pratt, gaining 43,000 votes on Pratt and increasing her overall share of the vote by about 5 points.\n <\/p>\n

\n Reports this weekend were her strongest of the contest, with Raman winning about 40% of each batch and Pratt around 18%.\n <\/p>

\n California elections often take several days to resolve, a function of the nation\u2019s most populous state running a largely mail-in election in which properly postmarked ballots received up to seven days after Election Day can be counted.\n <\/p>\n

\n Votes reported after election night in California tend to shift toward Democrats, as they typically include mail ballots that were cast closer to Election Day itself.\n <\/p>\n

\n While the race is officially nonpartisan, Pratt is a registered Republican while Raman has campaigned as a progressive.\n <\/p>\n

\n Bass issued a statement Sunday signaling the lines of attack she would take against Raman in a potential November matchup, suggesting Raman \u201cwas MIA on saving Hollywood jobs and fighting back when ICE invades LA.\u201d\n <\/p>
