LOS ANGELES — After 241 years, the nation’s second-largest city has its first female mayor.
Karen Bass was sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris as Los Angeles’ 43rd mayor Sunday afternoon, with thousands of Angelenos cheering inside downtown’s Microsoft Theater during a jubilant ceremony packed with musical acts.
The crowd exploded into applause after Harris said the words “Madame mayor,” and remained on their feet as Bass walked to the podium.
