Spencer Pratt Throws In The Towel On Mayoral Bid, Promises To Keep Fighting For L.A.

Spencer Pratt Bows Out of Mayoral Race

Reality TV star Spencer Pratt, once the drama king of 'The Hills,' has now made his exit from another kind of stage – the Los Angeles mayoral primary. On June 13, Pratt acknowledged that he's unlikely to advance to the next round in the mayoral race, trailing behind seasoned political players Karen Bass and Nithya Raman according to primary projections.

Pratt, who campaigned on improving street safety and fast-tracking wildfire recovery, couldn't quite capture the magic of the vote this time around. He came in third with 26%, not enough to surpass Bass's 34% and Raman's 29%. "The campaign portion of my mission to save Los Angeles is coming to a close," Pratt announced in a video message that's already racking up millions of views on X – his social media weapon of choice.

“We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame. I was saving it for the general election,” Pratt revealed, turning up the suspense.

Suspense Builds with Pratt’s Claim

In the same viral clip, which intersperses AI-generated visuals with old-school movie magic, Pratt tantalizes viewers with what could be a game-changing revelation for the November election. He hints at holding evidence that might seriously ruffle the feathers of either Bass or Raman, and possibly send one of them packing their campaign bags.

With his social media following burgeoning, Pratt promised to keep advocating for the city of angels beyond the ballot. He still carries the torch he picked up after losing his own home to the devastating Pacific Palisades wildfires.

Political Scene Reacts to Pratt’s Remarks

While Pratt keeps the cards close to his chest, neither Bass nor Raman's camp have commented on his cryptic claims. The LA Times, ever the pulse of the city, reports on the candidates' silence, adding another layer to this Malibu-style drama.

Had Pratt claimed the mayoral seat, he would have been the first Republican at the helm since Richard Riordan's second term ended in 2001. But as he steps back from the mayoral spotlight, it seems Spencer Pratt has no plans to fade into the LA sunset just yet.
