Meanwhile, at the Raman campaign’s official election night party at the Greek Theater in Los Feliz, there weren’t any signs calling to “Tax the Rich” or to implement “Medicare for All,” as there were at the DSA party, but comedian Guy Branum from Apple TV’s Platonic sounded pretty similar to those socialists. He argued that Raman’s coalition reflected a class divide within Hollywood.

“Nithya has way more of entertainment’s middle class,” Branum said, describing workers worried about their next job. And Raman’s husband, television writer Vali Chandrasekaran, understands the industry’s problems firsthand, he argued.

Branum, who hangs with the couple socially, also wanted voters to appreciate one of her less-discussed qualifications. “They lead with the masters in urban planning, and the Harvard, and the MIT,” he said. “But what you really need to see is that she can dance. She really lets her hair loose.” (Vanity Fair did not stick around at the party long enough to verify Raman’s dancing skills.)
