"Spencer Pratt, 30.4%. Karen Bass at the lead with 34.8%. Nithya Raman, 22.3%. They didn't think Spencer Pratt was going to be above 30%. He ended up above 30%, which means what? It means people do not like Karen Bass."
Reality TV star Spencer Pratt secured 30.4% of the vote in the Los Angeles mayoral primary, exceeding expectations and forcing incumbent Karen Bass into a November runoff. Bass leads with only 34.8%, well short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff. The result represents a major political upset in heavily Democratic Los Angeles and positions a Republican for the first competitive mayoral debate in years, with most socialist candidate Nithya Raman's 22% likely shifting to Bass.
