Spencer Pratt Teams with Trump in Push for Hollywood Tax Break Revival

Spencer Pratt claimed he sat down with Donald Trump to discuss a 25% federal film tax credit to revive Hollywood, sharing a photo from Trump’s California golf club after a fundraising visit; the White House did not respond. The piece frames this as part of a broader, long-running push for incentives supported by Gavin Newsom, Adam Schiff, SAG-AFTRA, the DGA and WGA, and figures like Jon Voight, amid industry job losses and productions leaving the U.S. for places with better incentives. With midterm politics stalling any concrete action, there’s little sign of immediate federal relief for Hollywood.

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.

Spencer Pratt declares 'it's war' after Los Angeles mayoral primary loss

Spencer Pratt, the Republican candidate and former reality TV star who failed to advance in the Los Angeles mayoral primary, released a video titled 'Saving LA-Phase III' in which he vows he isn’t leaving town and accuses the city’s political machine of corruption. He attacks the remaining candidates, Nithya Raman and Karen Bass, calling them 'morons' and warning that the city will deteriorate under their leadership. Pratt claims developers and businesses are leaving and that tax revenue and services will shrink, forecasting more potholes, fewer firefighters, and more crime. He also teased a recording that could force one candidate to resign, though he did not specify which one. Pratt did not gain enough support to reach the runoff despite the national attention his celebrity status drew.

LA Dems Brace for Bruising Bass–Raman Runoff After Pratt Exit

Los Angeles’ mayoral runoff between incumbent Karen Bass and council member Nithya Raman is shaping into a high-stakes intra-Democratic showdown five months after Spencer Pratt’s controversial candidacy dominated headlines. While Raman surpassed Pratt to reach the runoff, operatives warn the contest could fracture Democratic support in the nation’s second-largest city, with Bass seeking a broad coalition and Raman riding progressive energy. Pratt’s exit may ease some pressure, but his supporters’ attacks and questions about election integrity signal a contentious, expensive race that will define LA politics for months to come.

Spencer Pratt Falls Short in LA Mayoral Primary, Signs of Quiet Exit

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.

Spencer Pratt Breaks Silence On LA Mayor Run With Counting Question

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.

Spencer Pratt's LA mayoral bid collapses under self-sabotage

Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano argues that Spencer Pratt began with strong advantages (a relatable origin story, an emboldened base, and fundraising) but misread LA’s political culture by leaning into angry, anti-progressive rhetoric, neglecting broad outreach and key debates. Pratt finished third with about 26% of the vote, behind Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, highlighting that his self-created arrogance and celebrity-focused approach prevented a broader coalition and lasting support in a largely liberal city. The piece concludes Pratt’s real obstacle wasn’t policy so much as a perceived lack of faith in or love for Los Angeles, urging him to stay and push for change rather than leave.
