"Magic Johnson endorsing Karen Bass’s reelection campaign. “She’s doing a tremendous job. Mayor Bass has to have a second term, and I’m excited to say that,” Johnson said in the video, citing homelessness and housing as issues. Johnson played for the LA Lakers. “Listen, you took on a tough job here, and you’ve done a fabulous job, and all of us appreciate your effort and what you’re doing, and we look forward to helping you continue your mission and the things that you have in store - your vision for the city.”"
"“Magic Johnson has been my friend for over 30 years,” Bass wrote in the video post. “His belief in how I’m changing Los Angeles means everything to me. Magic has poured his heart into this city long before anyone asked him to - through investment, through community, through showing up. I am deeply honored to have his endorsement.”"
"Grenell called Johnson “beyond pathetic.” “Los Angeles is in terrible shape and you want Karen Bass to be re-elected because she’s your friend?! What a selfish move.”"
Magic Johnson appeared in a social media video endorsing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for reelection. Johnson praised Bass’s performance and said he and Bass have known each other for about 30 years. He referenced homelessness and housing as key issues and urged support for Bass’s continued mission and vision for the city. Bass posted that Johnson’s belief in her efforts means a great deal and credited him with long-term involvement through investment, community support, and showing up. Ric Grenell reacted negatively, calling Johnson “beyond pathetic” and arguing that Los Angeles is in terrible shape, so Johnson’s support for Bass because of friendship is selfish.
