| Description | Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), one of the most prominent Black women in Congress and an ally of President Biden, has signaled she is open to running for mayor of Los Angeles in 2022 under encouragement from some Democrats, according to two people familiar with her thinking.
The congresswoman has made no decisions about the race, according to those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Others voiced skepticism that she would ultimately enter the contest. But Bass’s openness is notable; her stock in Washington has been on the rise in recent years, with some mentioning her as a potential future House speaker or Cabinet official.
Asked for comment on her intentions Tuesday, Bass spokesman Zach Seidl provided a written statement that said, “People are urging her to do it. She is not considering it at this time. Her plan right now is to run for re-election to her House seat in 2022.” |
