The AP called the race in Bass’s favor around 3:35 p.m. Wednesday.
Bass currently leads Rick Caruso by 46,578 votes with 74% of ballots counted.
Bass, who represents the California’s 37th Congressional District, will become the first woman to be elected mayor of Los Angeles and the second Black person to hold the position.
One week ago when polls closed, Caruso carried an overnight lead in the race to replace incumbent Mayor Eric Garcetti, who is termed out and is awaiting confirmation as ambassador to India.
Since then, Bass has outpaced Caruso, quickly closing the gap before ultimately overtaking him.
