Spencer Pratt Breaks Silence On LA Mayor Run With Counting Question

Spencer Pratt finally spoke after being shut out of the Los Angeles mayor runoff, posting on X with a simple question: ‘Are they done counting yet?’ With the June 10 ballot drop Pratt had about 216,783 votes (25.52%), trailing front-runner Karen Bass (about 291,397 votes, 34.30%) and challenger Nithya Raman (about 246,333 votes, 29.0%). Pratt’s bid drew attention but appears unlikely to overtake the two leading contenders; he’s floated a recount or legal challenge, and his campaign was stacked with controversy—from residency questions to MAGA-support dynamics and fallout from the Palisades fire rebuilding saga. No public move on next steps as results continue to be tallied.

LA mayor race tests California's balance between establishment and left

Incumbent L.A. Mayor Karen Bass leads to a runoff against Nithya Raman while centrist Democrats fare better in California’s other races, underscoring a tension between establishment leadership and a rising left. The outcome highlights housing and homelessness as key issues, a push for pragmatic solutions, and some DSA-backed wins down-ballot, even as Raman’s bid faces headwinds and Bass consolidates broad coalitions.

California’s election-night suspense persists as ballots keep counting

California election results remain unsettled days after polls close as mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day continue to be counted. In Los Angeles, Mayor Bass is set for a November runoff against either Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman, with final tallies likely taking several more days. Experts note late-counted ballots—especially those from Democrats—often shift results, and counties like L.A. have hundreds of thousands of ballots still outstanding, illustrating the slow, deliberate nature of California’s counting process.

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.

Batman‑Inspired AI Ad Sparks Buzz in LA Mayor Race

An AI-generated Batman‑themed campaign ad for Spencer Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral bid depicts Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass as villains while Pratt leads residents to “save” the city; it went viral, drawing conservative praise as a potential top political ad of the year and sparking debates about the ethics of using AI to depict real political figures without permission. Pratt did not commission the ad; AI filmmaker Charlie Curran produced it. Polls show Bass leading Pratt at the moment, and the piece frames AI-driven ads as a growing trend in campaigns.
