LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino dropped out of the race for mayor on May 12 and announced his support for his former opponent, billionaire real estate developer Rick Caruso.
Angelenos have already been sent their ballots from the Los Angeles County Clerk, and voting ends for the election on June 7. The top two candidates will face off on Nov. 8.
“Rick and I agree on the playbook to solve the city’s pressing issues,” Buscaino said. “Today’s decision did not come easy, but the future of Los Angeles is my priority. Together, we will make Los Angeles cleaner and safer for all.”
