Spencer Pratt surges into close second in Los Angeles mayor race
Spencer Pratt surged into a close second in the Los Angeles mayoral primary, trailing incumbent Karen Bass 132,172 votes (36.5%) to 108,949 (30.1%) with roughly 50 percent of ballots tallied. Councilmember Nithya Raman sits third with 73,008 votes (20.2%), which means Pratt's second-place standing would put him into the November runoff against Bass under the city's top-two primary rules. Pratt is a reality TV personality whose campaign and recent controversies have shifted the race toward name recognition and media-driven dynamics, raising the stakes for messaging and fundraising in the general election.
Damn! Spencer Pratt’s campaign is blocking the media from his election watch party. That’s telling, because this is a guy who has spent most of his life chasing cameras & publicity. If his internal polling had him in 1st or 2nd place, he’d be rolling out the red carpet for every reporter in LA.
Lucha53What a trainwreck of a human. It's crazy that people are supporting him.
Mitch Solomon34I love this for him. And us.
Teri23This very much pleases me. The packing up and leaving energy is very telling!
The Hot Stepper22Wow.. a spoiled attention hog isn't trying to be the main focus right now? He gotta be losing big.
capuchadou.bsky.social18This is how all cult's should die: in their infancy.
Jmsfmmm17I’m remembering him saying if he loses he’s leaving California. ⏳
TKKC10From your lips to God's ears!
Steve in Manhattan9he promised he’d leave LA if he lost, and you all have to hold him to it.
Jennifer 🦋 🇺🇦 🦋8Rolling out the red carpet is exactly what he’d be doing. Hiding behind the cameras isn’t his tacky style.
AxeDame8And Justine Bateman is running interference for him over on Twitter!
SarahBCalif6Pratt just needs more energy crystals
DrDinD.bsky.social6I think we can call that a Pratt-fall
Marcia C.5He appears to be in 2nd place. Shocking how dumb voters can be.
LizB4We didn't want to watch him cry anyway😭
I Am Laurie4He learned that from the Orangeassface.
Bknubian4Hope you snap pics of any known people
Sljonez4Angelenos may be pissed about circumstances, but they're not stupid enough to elect that idiot. That happened at the Nat'l level and we're stuck with Trump. Stop drooling Network news, so what he's an outsider, he's also an idiot
Gary3Kyung Lah! I remember her!
💙 Mrs Harrington 🇺🇸 🇺🇦3He has a problem controlling his mouth. We know he knows, too.
Mel 🥨2I hope he gets humiliated.
lacastellana.bsky.social2Publicity hounds cannot be trusted.
Luci2He’s always been a tool. Js
Marly Marie2I’m old enough to remember when he went on a show called, ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here.’ That’s the kind of desperation for cameras this man has. Also said him and Heidi were as big of stars as Brad and Angelina Jolie.
Aunt Tifa - you have friends everywhere2maybe he's selling the coverage to someone specific
Four Legs Good2His name perfectly describes him. Fucking prat
Everyone who voted for lunatic fraudster trashy reality scumbag Spencer Pratt is automatically a MAGA fascist in my opinion.
bobbiredsox.bsky.social18Right? I live on the westside and was SHOCKED at how many Pratt signs I saw. Disgusting
hokusai 🌊🌊🌊17💯 NO PLACE for him here in los angeles and let's not forget HE said he would leave LA "when" he loses
It is the Winter of Our Discontent…14High profile white people supporting that unqualified grifter are really showing how racist they really are. Deplorable.
Jill Marie8HOW are people falling for another unqualified, narcisstic reality TV celebrity?
Larry Wayne7I blame the press. If Nithya Raman received half the attention Pratt did then she would be in a runoff with Bass.
Politicat4We’ve got plenty in CA
Cub Green3He lied about living in a trailer. Lived in a fancy hotel or at his parents’ house. 🤢
Didi Ⓥ2And mine... I don't understand how so people voted for someone who has absolutely no experience to be Mayor... and endorsed by Trump... I guess that says it all... It's so depressing.
Another fun fact: not all of LA gets to vote for mayor. Santa Monica and West Hollywood have their own mayors, for instance. A lot of people in Calabasas and Malibu are learning they can’t vote for Spencer Pratt and crashing out lol. Communities in gray areas can’t vote for mayor:
Clayt💿n41lol people crashing out because they are grown, voting-age adults that are learning about the concept of city limits for the first time is good stuff.
Van Rouge10Don’t be someone that crashes out because you can’t vote for Spencer Pratt. Seriously, DO NOT
Bill Seligman2The @nytpitchbot.bsky.social should look into the rigged election for LA Mayor - it’s shocking that the President of the United States can’t vote!!
🍸☕️2This is like when people in Alabama found out they couldn’t vote against Mamdani..
Nick Durazo2Yeah, I was really looking forward to not voting for Karen Bass this time and when it came time to fill out my ballot I realized I don’t live in LA proper anymore
Peter Marzano2I absolutely love LA proper's insane boundaries
I’m just not going to be able to walk around this city knowing 1/3 of the people I make awkward eye contact with voted for Spencer Pratt
Bill Bushman13I saw an Instagram video where someone was listing all of the reasons why he's so awful and someone commented, "Maybe you're right, but he's the only candidate who's talked about the animal shelters, so..." 🤦♂️
DaniSue3The way the media is reporting you’d think that his first name is Reality Star.
David Young #Vin2Although a third of those third rarely leave their gated communities.
1. UPDATE: CA governor’s race, with 45% of the vote in, Steve Hilton is leading with 26.55%, followed by Xavier Becerra at 25.87% and Tom Steyer at 19.67%. In the LA mayor’s race, with 46% of the vote in, Karen Bass leads with 36.5%, followed by Spencer Pratt at 30.1% and Nithya Raman at 20.2%.
Yashar Ali 🐘412. In the governor’s race, the top two candidates advance to the November general election regardless of party. In the LA mayor’s race, if no candidate wins a majority, the top two advance to a November runoff.
Quantummleap14What the fuck are you doing California
Cam10Spencer Pratt is one of the biggest idiots ever. Its shameful to see him get any votes. Or hear him speak.
Grandpa Rufus8Xavier Becerra will be the next governor of California !
Steve Hilton ahead in California? i never want to hear the BS “this is not who we are” BS. people literally first vote for these crooks and then complain about them. JFC!
Dusk6MAGA Fox host vs Chevron/PG&E candidate 🤦♂️ As much as I hate the idea of supporting a billionaire, Steyer actually offered change and progressive ideas.
StopTheWorldIWantToGetOff4How tf are that many people voting for Pratt?!?! Good LORD, people are stupid.
Orcaholic 🐳🐬🌿🐈⬛🇵🇸🇺🇦💙🇬🇱🇩🇰⚾️2Really hoping the mail in ballots which lean heavily Democratic boost it so it’s Becerra vs Steyer
DEVELOPING: Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt are leading the pack of candidates in the LA mayoral race, according to The Associated Press. @jenpsaki.bsky.social reports. www.ms.now/liveblog/pri...
J.J.1529%? The fuck is wrong with you los Angeles?
Laurie6Unreal. Don’t you see what voting for a reality tv star has done to our country??? Have you lost your minds???
Godless Hedgehog 🌵5My disappointment in humans seems to have no bottom.
SarahBCalif4Almost 30%!!! What the hell, Los Angeles?
Andy ⭕️dom2Who is stupid enough to vote Pratt?
Trumplethinskin, the Vicious !diot2Spencer Pratt's an amoral wank stain. The fact that he's got 29% of the vote just killed yet another tiny piece of whatever dwindling hope I still have for our country.
