Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV star, criticizes Governor Gavin Newsom’s endorsement of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, labeling them as ‘alleged criminal partners’ due to controversies surrounding Bass’s homelessness initiatives. Fox News commentator Kayleigh McEnany highlights a concerning report, revealing that $418 million was spent on a homelessness program with only 10% effectively aiding those on the streets. Pratt is vocal about this alleged corruption.
A passionate advocate for reform, Pratt focuses on the well-being of both animals and people. He aims to improve conditions in Los Angeles, mentioning issues such as the mistreatment of dogs on Skid Row. Driven by his faith, he envisions a safer environment for families in the city.
Polling shows Pratt’s mayoral campaign gaining traction against Bass. As election day approaches, the candidates are intensively campaigning. Starting a competitive mayoral race, Bass is seeking re-election, running against Pratt and city council member Nithya Raman. No candidate is projected to secure over 50% of the vote, leading to a likely runoff in November.
Bass is supported by prominent Democrats, including Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom. While campaigning, Bass served tacos wearing an apron with ‘Common Sense and Carne Asada’ and commented on Pratt’s reality TV background, subtly referencing Donald Trump. She criticized his motives, suggesting he seeks fame rather than true leadership.
Pratt uses social media to attack Raman’s recent campaign ads, while Raman remains steadfast, asking her supporters to rally despite financial disadvantages in her campaign. Pratt criticizes Bass for broken promises on homelessness and attributes slow progress to bureaucracy.
Pratt, renowned from his show ‘The Hills,’ addresses key issues like wildfires, which directly impacted him, and faults Bass for the city’s response to the 2025 fires. He is critical of her management regarding homelessness, crime, and addiction.
Despite gaining support from other reality stars, actors, and musicians, Pratt faces hurdles as a Republican in a city dominated by Democratic politics.
