Trump Signals Support for Spencer Pratt in L.A. Mayor Bid, Calls Him a 'Big MAGA Person'

President Donald Trump publicly expressed support for Spencer Pratt in Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral bid, telling reporters he’d like to see Pratt do well and calling him a “big MAGA person.” The comments come as Pratt, who has tried to shield his campaign from formal party ties, faces scrutiny from rivals who have tied him to Trump; Pratt says he represents all of L.A. and isn’t running under a party banner, while incumbent Karen Bass and ally Nithya Raman have used the Trump connection to attack Pratt’s candidacy.
