A Los Angeles mayoral debate has collapsed at the last minute after Nithya Raman joined Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt in pulling out.
Raman revealed early Monday she was not going, following Bass pulling out last week and Pratt earlier saying he had a scheduling conflict. It left just businessman Adam Miller and activist Rae Huang.
A spokesman for the Pat Brown Institute and the League of Women Voters said: “With only two candidates remaining, the event partners have agreed not to proceed.”
Raman’s campaign told The Post: “We’re disappointed that Mayor Bass cancelled her participation in the debate. We welcome opportunities for debates with all the candidates in the future.”
Bass withdrew late last week saying she was traveling to Sacramento seeking funding tied to homelessness and Palisades fire recovery efforts.
The left wing duo had faced off with Pratt at last week’s NBC debate, where the reality TV star was widely seen to have wiped the floor with them.
Raman and Bass also went toe to toe during a smaller town hall debate in front of the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association.

Pratt should show up with cardboard cutouts of his opponents
He chickened out.
Because those two are commie LOSERS..Raman went on TV pretending that she is against defunding the police when that is ALL she has said for years. Bass and Raman are both DONE, the best they got is calling Spencer a fascist, which is commie speak for “He wants to keep LA safe, cant have that here”
So the prior debate where Pratt shined, stays in the voter’s memories. Good.
C Eastwood did such, and it worked.
There ought to be a debate with two empty seats on stage, showing the liberal cowards as quitters.
They have more candidates pulling out than a porn star with AIDS...
Raman needs to take her noodle butt back to Inja. She’s not an American. She’s a friggin refugee.
Spencer should still show and let them ask him questions.
ChikinSheetz. Cant defend themselves after Pratt clown suited them all
Followed by - why did it take over a year to fix a tear in a reservoir cover, leaving it empty the whole time?

The girls are afwaid of the white alpha male.
Bass prolly has internal polling that shows that she has the election in the bag. So why bother prepping for a formality especially when she would probably get embarrassed?
Looks like an opportunity for Pratt. Bring fire victims on and have a town hall.
Considering what happened with LA’s last mayoral, unless election integrity has suddenly been restored, I don’t think Deep State is too worried.
Who needs debates?
Bass being exposed for ignorance.
