Karen Bass attended a “homecoming” event hosted by a local radio station at Leimert Park on Saturday, a day before she was inaugurated by Vice President Kamala Harris as the 43rd mayor of Los Angeles.
According to an aide to Harris, Bass asked the vice president to take the oath of office in a nod to her status as two of California’s most powerful black women. Harris was honored to be asked, the aide added.
