Joint Base Andrews remarks on Wednesday expanded Trump's support for Spencer Pratt into a broader attack on California voting, with the president saying the Los Angeles candidate may struggle because the state's elections are "dishonest."
Trump claimed California sends out 38 million ballots, said mail voting makes Republican wins "very hard," and argued he would have carried the state under a fair count.
Pratt launched his mayoral bid on Jan. 7 after the 2025 Palisades wildfire destroyed his home, blaming Mayor Karen Bass for mismanaging the disaster response.
Emerson College polling shows Bass at 30% and Pratt at 22% ahead of the June 2 primary, where a candidate can win outright by clearing 50% or else advance to a November runoff.
