Kyle Kuzma put $36,000 behind Spencer Pratt to win Los Angeles' June 2 nonpartisan mayoral primary, injecting fresh attention into the race days before voting.
Kuzma said on X that "LA has been cooked since Covid," framing his wager as a protest against the city's current direction rather than a celebrity stunt.
Pratt, a former reality-TV star running as an outsider, launched his campaign in January after losing his Pacific Palisades home in the 2025 wildfires and has centered it on public safety and government change.
The challenge is aimed at incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, with Pratt trying to tap voter anger over crime, homelessness, city spending and emergency-response failures.
Trump and Lakers minority owner Jeanie Buss have also backed Pratt, underscoring how a once-novel candidacy has gained broader visibility as the primary nears.
