24. Unless Los Angeles uses a different system than the rest of the state

Los Angeles county (yes, I know it's more than just the city of Los Angeles) estimates 500,000 ballots left to be counted as of Friday's report, and mail-in ballots postmarked by 8PM on June 2 will still be processed if they arrive today. The results aren't official until they're certified by the county and the state, and the deadline for that is July 10.

There is no "winner" in a jungle primary. Karen Bass is not guaranteed another term: the top two candidates, regardless of party, will be on the ballot for the general election in November. That election, not this primary, will decide who will be governor, US Representatives, and other elected state officials. not an Angeleno, but I'd rather have Pratt on the ballot and lose decisively than have two Democrats pour gobs of resources into a slugfest until November - same with the other races.
