Duck Photo Sparks Election Buzz as Pratt Loses LA Mayor Bid

Spencer Pratt posted a cryptic photo of a lone duck after losing the Los Angeles mayoral race, offering no caption as allies and followers speculated about election irregularities. Pratt, who slipped from a #2 spot and was eliminated from the runoff, prompted Republican-leaning backlash with Trump publicly alleging the race was “rigged,” while others questioned the late-ballot process and Pratt’s sister’s ballot experiences. Incumbent Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman advanced, and federal probes into California voting were mentioned amid the controversy.
