Support for Rick Caruso in LA Mayoral Race

In 2022, Katy Perry faced backlash from fans after posting a selfie showing she voted for Rick Caruso, a billionaire businessman and former Republican, for Mayor of Los Angeles.

Notes: Caruso ran as a Democrat but had a long history as a Republican and donor to GOP causes.

Agent rationale

While Caruso was running as a Democrat, his platform was seen as more conservative/pro-business, leading some to view this as a shift away from progressive purity, though not a direct MAGA alignment.
