Karen Bass used a Saturday Instagram livestream to cast rival Spencer Pratt as another reality-TV celebrity unfit for power, saying voters know what happens when “somebody who is a reality TV star” gets office.
Tuesday’s Los Angeles primary has tightened enough that no candidate is expected to clear 50%, putting Bass, Pratt and council member Nithya Raman in a scramble for the top 2 spots and a likely November runoff.
Spencer Pratt has gained traction by attacking Bass over the January 2025 wildfires, homelessness, drug addiction and crime, while Raman told supporters she remained competitive despite millions of dollars spent against her.
Bass spent the final weekend campaigning with backing from Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom, but Pratt’s late polling surge has turned a race in heavily Democratic Los Angeles into an unexpectedly competitive test of her reelection bid.
