The close race for second place in the June 2 primary has narrowed to roughly 3,100 votes separating Nithya Raman and Spencer Pratt as additional ballots are tallied, with Karen Bass holding a clear lead. California election officials continue standard incremental counting of mail and provisional ballots without any candidate filing a formal recount request or meeting procedural thresholds that would automatically trigger one. Unsubstantiated claims of irregularities from online commentators and President Trump have prompted no official investigations or legal challenges capable of halting certification. With 93 percent of votes reported and the gap stabilizing, the absence of sustained disputes or party-driven demands supports trader consensus against a recount occurring before runoff qualification.
