Spencer Pratt Falls Short in LA Mayoral Primary, Signs of Quiet Exit
TL;DR
Former The Hills star Spencer Pratt failed to advance to the Los Angeles mayoral runoff, finishing behind Raman and Bass in the June 2 primary as Raman pulled ahead in final mail-ballot counts. With about 99% of votes tallied, Raman led Pratt 28.6% to 25.8% (Bass led overall), and final results are not yet certified as California continues to count mail-in ballots. Pratt’s bid—backed by endorsements including Trump—faded in a deeply blue city, and he had already suggested he might leave LA if Bass or Raman won; now Bass faces Raman in November while results are finalized.
