Magic Johnson broke away from his former Los Angeles Lakers boss on Monday and endorsed Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race.
Bass posted a video of Johnson’s endorsement on her social media. Johnson’s support of Bass came after Jeanie Buss appeared to back Spencer Pratt in the race.
Johnson said his 30-year friendship with Bass and her actions on homelessness and lowering the homicide rates were part of the reasons why he endorsed her.
