Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) is facing increasing criticism for her handling of the wildfires in the city, leading to doubts about her political future as the fires continue to rage. Critics are pointing to Bass’s decision to travel abroad before the wildfires started, despite her previous promise not to do so, as well as approving a budget that reduced funding for the city’s fire department. The backlash against Bass has been particularly severe, given her position as the city’s leader and her progressive stance. Some have even called for her resignation, including a petition with over 134,000 signatures. Despite her supporters defending her actions, Bass’s response to the crisis has raised questions about her leadership and ability to navigate the political fallout. “El único momento en que los votantes realmente prestaron mucha atención, y tienes una oportunidad para causar una primera impresión, y luego no ha sido sometida a mucha escrutinio como alcaldesa hasta este punto.”
