Spencer Pratt Concedes LA Mayor Bid, Declares War on Finalists

Spencer Pratt appears to concede the Los Angeles mayoral race in a video, saying the campaign to “save Los Angeles” is ending but vowing “war” on the two finalists, Karen Bass and Nithya Raman. He did not challenge the results, despite Donald Trump’s unfounded claims that the election was rigged. Raman narrowly defeated Pratt to advance to November to face Bass; Pratt also claimed he had information that could damage either candidate and hinted at exposing recordings, while saying he is moving on to a new phase after a campaign built around wildfire concerns and LA’s apocalyptic moment.

LA’s Left Fractures Over the Race to Succeed Bass

Los Angeles’s 2026 mayoral race has split the left, pitting two Democratic Socialists—Rae Huang and Nithya Raman—against incumbent Karen Bass, with a disruptive bid from Spencer Pratt that deepens fractures in the coalition. Raman appears closest to Bass in polls, Huang trails, and Pratt’s anti-homeless rhetoric complicates the race, highlighting a broader struggle over housing, homelessness, and policing as voters weigh a pragmatic path to a runoff against a bolder left agenda. Polls show Bass ~26%, Raman ~25%, Pratt ~22%, and Huang ~9%, signaling a divided field ahead of a crowded nonpartisan primary.

Caruso bows out of LA mayor and CA governor races, refocusing on nonprofit work

Billionaire developer Rick Caruso announced he will not run for Los Angeles mayor or California governor, citing family considerations and a continued commitment to public service. He will focus on his nonprofit Steadfast LA and related efforts, ending months of speculation after a high-profile 2022 bid in which he spent about $100 million of his own fortune and narrowly lost to Karen Bass, a move that reshapes the 2026 field around Bass.

Uvalde Mayor Race: From Tragedy to Triumph

Cody Smith, a former mayor of Uvalde, Texas, has won the mayoral race, defeating Kimberly Mata-Rubio, whose daughter was killed in a mass shooting last year. Smith's campaign focused on honoring the victims of the tragedy while moving the city forward, advocating for better communication among police agencies and community volunteerism. Mata-Rubio called for police accountability, stronger gun laws, and attention to infrastructure issues. Smith's term will last one year, with another election for a full four-year term scheduled for next year.
