Bass will probably be sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris through the ceremony. However she gained’t formally take workplace as Los Angeles’ first feminine mayor till Monday.
Nationwide Climate Service meteorologist Carol Smith stated rain is forecast all through the day Sunday, with reasonable rain within the morning and light-weight showers within the afternoon.

“Don’t fear — when you’ve got already RSVP’d, you do not want to RSVP once more,” Bass stated within the tweet asserting the change in venue.
