Spencer Pratt surges to runoff in LA mayor’s race after angry voters send message to Karen Bass

Spencer Pratt has spent months waging a guerilla campaign against incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, riding the buzz generated by AI-generated videos, viral moments and some big-name supporters as he seeks to capitalize on dissatisfaction with the way the city is being run.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has advanced to a November run-off in her bid for re-election where she will face either Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman.

She’s received high marks for her opposition to federal immigration enforcement raids that swept across the region last summer.

The race initially seemed poised to be an intra-party match-up between Bass and her former ally Raman.
