URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – The last person California Democrats expected to lose sleep over is Spencer Pratt, the former reality television personality from MTV’s The Hills. Yet here we are, and the political establishment in Los Angeles is starting to sweat through their organic cotton shirts.
Pratt has spent the past several weeks doing something the city’s entrenched Democratic machine convinced itself was flatly impossible: making incumbent Mayor Karen Bass look genuinely vulnerable. Conventional wisdom held that a candidate with no governing experience, running as an independent in one of the most reliably blue cities in America, had zero realistic path to victory. Conventional wisdom, it turns out, failed to account for just how thoroughly fed-up Los Angeles voters actually are.
The fundraising numbers tell a story that should have Bass’s team stress-eating at their desks. Between April 19 and May 15, Pratt’s campaign raised roughly $2.7 million. Over that same stretch, Bass pulled in just $282,000. Bass has been raising money since 2024, with a total haul of approximately $2.8 million. Pratt nearly matched her entire war chest in less than a month. The two candidates are now separated by less than $100,000 in cash on hand, Pratt sitting on roughly $1.42 million, Bass on approximately $1.32 million. Not exactly the position an incumbent mayor expects to be in heading into a primary.
Then came the polls, which showed Bass leading by only single digits, meaning Pratt could very realistically advance to a runoff. In a city where Democratic registration is so lopsided that Republican candidates don’t even bother showing up on general election ballots, that’s a five-alarm fire.
The Democrat establishment heard the message and responded with their go-to panic move: a Gavin Newsom endorsement, issued just five days before the June 2nd primary. Newsom praised Bass for what he called “an 18% decline in homelessness while it grew nationally, historic drops in violent crime, boosting film production in L.A., and protecting our communities against ICE,” adding, “She has my full support for reelection.” The timing of that endorsement reeks of desperation, and everyone knows it.

Pratt was thoroughly unimpressed. He fired back, calling Newsom and Bass “alleged criminal partners” and connecting them to both the catastrophic January wildfires and the city’s bottomless homelessness crisis. “It’s not shocking because their alleged criminal partners, not only did they work together in their negligence and burning down 7,000 houses and 12 people alive, but they’re both complicit in laundering, what, 24 billion dollars to actually increase homelessness,” Pratt said.
Challenging Newsom’s homelessness statistics directly, Pratt stated, “Those are not real numbers. Anybody with eyeballs in the state of California or Los Angeles knows that there has not been a reduction in one homeless person. Actually, there’s been an increase of naked drug addict zombies in front of every kid’s playground, every kid’s school, every coffee shop.”
He capped it off with: “They both should be in jail together.”
A runoff now appears likely. November will be a referendum on whether California’s progressive one-party disaster can survive a direct confrontation with its own results. The polls say the Democrats have reason to worry. Spencer Pratt is making sure of it.
