LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Mayor-elect Karen Bass’ plans to hold her public inauguration Sunday on the steps of City Hall have been scuttled by a rainy weather forecast.
“New location, same historic event!” Bass said in a Thursday evening tweet, announcing that the event will now be held at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live. The indoor venue seats more than 7,000 people.
Bass will be sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris during the ceremony. But she won’t officially take office as Los Angeles’ first female mayor until Monday.
