He released a series of viral videos portraying him as a political outsider fighting to “save” Los Angeles, while AI-generated clips created by Pratt’s supporters depicted him as a superhero-like figure battling incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom. One of his most widely circulated campaign videos, titled “They Not Like Us,” featured Pratt inside an Airstream trailer on his burned Palisades property, where he criticized city officials over the condition of the city and accused leaders of failing residents. After Pratt failed to reach December’s runoff election, Trump urged him to dispute the June primary loss. Jon Rou/LMULate last month, after Pratt failed to reach November’s runoff election, Trumpurged him to dispute the June primary loss. “Spencer Pratt…He shouldn’t go away quietly. He should protest because it was, in my very strong opinion, that was a rigged election,” Trump said. Prior to the primary, the president saidhe’d like to see Pratt “do well” in the mayoral race. “I’d like to see him do well — he’s a character,” Trump said. “I don’t know, I don’t know him. I assume he probably supports me. Does he support me?… I heard he does. I heard he’s a big MAGA person. He’s doing well. ”Pratt finished third in the primary, falling short of the runoff by 29,804 votes. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman secured the second-place spot with 247,781 votes, while Pratt received 217,977 votes. Incumbent Karen Bass finished first and advanced to the runoff.
