Former Los Angeles The mayor’s candidate, Rick Caruso, does not support the retirement effort against Democratic Mayor Karen Bass, his former opponent.
“A retirement from mayor at this time is not a good idea. This is a time when angels needs unity, not expensive and expensive political distractions,” he published in X earlier this week.
“We must rebuild our communities, return people to their homes and open businesses that have been closed or lost. That must be our total approach. There is a time and a place for politics, but now it is not now.”
The effort to eliminate Karen Bass from office began after an intense criticism of her. Fire response That destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in Las Palisadas del Pacífico, even from Caruso, a Democrat.

The bass was in Ghana when the fires began despite a warning of the previous climate, so since then he has expressed remorse. But she has run out of giving up. He also recently fired the city chief of the city, Kristin Crowleywho failed to recover his work after appealing.
Caruso, a real estate tycoon, ran against Bass in 2022 and lost, and it is not clear if he plans to run against her again in 2026.
His decision not to support retirement caught the former vice presidential team of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Nicole Shanahan, an important defender of Retiro.
“Do people not deserve responsibility?!” She said in response to its publication about X. “I don’t see this as a political division … I see that this is the most united that I have seen around the real cost of poor management. The recovery team is (100%) bipartisan.”

“People want competition in their leadership,” Caruso replied. “But a retirement choice does not happen overnight. He would meet the June primaries and cost the city millions that we do not have. Let’s be intelligent about how we advance the city.”
The disagreement led to a combination of opinions about retirement itself.
“‘Cheaper to keep it’, is that really your argument? Remembering it will probably be cheaper than keeping it in place (see: recent fire of $ 200 billion that destroyed my family’s house). Shouldn’t it be for voters and not you anyway, Rick?” The co -founder of Tranquility AI, Dave Harvilicz, published.
“Disagree with Rick. There are no other options. I’m sorry”.

“The premise of the decision of (Caruso) not to support a withdrawal (which is correct) is precisely because it is the best interest of not wasting the time and energy of all in the memory that is destined to fail and demoralize even more the voters in the worst possible time,” said the member of the Central Committee of the Los Angeles County County, Elizabeth Barcohana.
To activate a retirement choice, a petition would need signatures of 15% of voters registered in the Los Angeles City.
“This retirement is nothing more than another extreme right -wing political trick designed to divide Los Angeles when we need to move forward,” said Doug Herman, a Bass strategist, Fox News Digital in a statement when the campaign first launched.
