A national panel of the Democratic Socialists of America voted narrowly on November 2, 2026, to keep its endorsement of mayoral candidate Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles race.
The decision followed internal debate, with some members arguing that Raman’s comments on Israel were not sufficiently tough, prompting a review of the endorsement.
In the end, the panel chose not to rescind its support, maintaining the endorsement for Raman.
