Step aside, Hollywood – Spencer Pratt is eyeing a new role, and it's not on reality TV. Former host of The View, Meghan McCain, threw her support behind Pratt's mayoral run for Los Angeles, predicting his victory in a confident message on X on April 29. "I'm telling you this guy is going to win," she proclaimed, stirring up conversation across the city.
Pratt, known for his role in The Hills, has released a campaign ad that pulls no punches. In the ad, he strolls through neighborhoods of the current LA Mayor, Karen Bass, and his political rival, Councilwoman Nithya Raman, pointing out their affluent living situations. "They don't have to live in the mess they've created where you live," he tells viewers, setting the stage for his narrative of change.
The campaign ad takes a turn as Pratt stands in front of a trailer, the temporary home for his family after the devastating 2025 California wildfires. "This is where I live. They let my home burn down," he states, highlighting the stark contrast between his experience and that of his rivals.
Pratt's run is deeply personal – he aims to fight for his sons and all Angelenos who, like him, feel let down by the current leadership. "We are going to get the golden age of Los Angeles back," Pratt promises, appealing to voters who crave change.
Spencer Pratt's campaign isn't short of drama, drawing support from high-profile celebrities like Joe Rogan, Kristin Cavallari, and Nick Viall. Despite his growing fan base, not everyone is on board. His sister and former The Hills co-star, Stephanie Pratt, has been vocal in her opposition.
In a flurry of tweets back in February, Stephanie warned voters against her brother, sharing allegations of past family troubles and questioning his qualifications. "LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor. A vote for him is a vote for stupidity," she tweeted, driving a wedge in the Pratt family narrative.
As the election draws near, all eyes are on this Malibu-style drama that unfolds in the heart of Los Angeles politics. Will Spencer Pratt's reality TV charisma translate to real-world politics? Only time will tell.
