Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso is not backing the recall effort against Democratic Mayor Karen Bass, his former opponent.
"A mayoral recall right now is not a good idea. This is a time when Los Angeles needs unity, not costly and expensive political distractions," he posted on X earlier this week.
"We must rebuild our communities, get people back into their homes, and open businesses that have been closed or lost. That must be our total focus. There is a time and place for politics, but it is not now."
