Nithya Raman closes to within 1% of Spencer Pratt in LA mayor race
JUST IN: Progressive Nithya Raman will advance to the general election and face incumbent Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race, according to Decision Desk HQ projections. It’s over for former reality TV villain Spencer Pratt.
The fact that it was even a close race between a washed-up reality TV personality and a councilwoman who holds degrees from both Harvard and MIT and founded a homelessness coalition really reflects where we are as a country
A lot of attention went to Spencer Pratt, but the real story may be that Los Angeles voters just set up a fascinating test of establishment versus progressive Democratic politics.
Trump, Pratt, and the rest of MAGA whining the election was rigged in 3 … 2 … 1 …
Whenever I heard his name... I thought it suited him.
I bet Nithya wins. Mamdani has long coattails 💙
My guess is that Mayor Bass would have preferred to run against Spencer.
Buh bye Spencer. You promised you’d leave. Don’t let the door hit ya in the ass
I can hear crystals breaking and packing tape screeching all the way from L.A. to SF Bay Area. It's a glorious day! 🌞
Spencer will be okay. He can now retreat to his mom's basement. 😬😂😂
Couldn’t happen to a nicer prat!
See ya Pratt, you and Maga daddy Trump! California don't play that shit! 🤣
Hahahahahaha. Poor sad pathetic Spencer and hahahahhaha to all those celebrities who debased themselves for nothing. Looking at you Heather Dubrow, Paris Hilton, Joe Rogan, Kristin Cavallari, Billy Bush, Audrina Patridge, Brody Jenner, Katharine McPhee, Joanna Krupa, Dennis Quaid, & Selma Blair
Good for LA 2 good strong women as their choices! Why LA is the 20th largest GDP in the World! Democratic rule since 2002! Smart city of 3.87 million! They for-sure punch above their weight! Why Republicans bash it! Lost again! No one in the Race! 26 years under democrats by 2032! Nice
Adios, Spencer!!! Oh, and by the way, we need to replace the jungle primary system with the ranked-choice voting system in California.
You know what to do LA! Vote for the progressive! And I’m so envious you have that choice.
It's all over except for the conspiracy theories....
yay!!!!!! later brat! don't let the door hit you in the ass when you leave california, we won't miss you
Kimmels gonna be a blast!😅
👏 👏 👏 NO MORE WASHED UP REALITY PERSONALITIES IN POLITICS
UK Slang Definition: Prat (noun): A derogatory term used in British English to describe someone who is perceived as foolish, silly, or inept. It often implies a level of annoyance or contempt towards the behavior of the individual in question.
RW internet trolls and grifters RN.
That's what they call a Pratt fall.
Yet, too many Angelinos voted for him.
The debates should be good, let’s hope they set an example and unlike the Rethuglicans, stay out of the gutter.
This is the best news I’ve heard all day! Take that, Trump!
Trump is NOT gonna like this...
Unbelievable he was even a serious contender
No more reality stars in government. Haven't we learned anything? I'm glad he's gone.
The real story is that Los Angeles is 70% registered Democrat and yet the billionaire owned media gave millions of dollars of free publicity to Republican Spencer Pratt when they knew he didn’t have a chance.
Ohhh the Madison Square Garden should post this on the screen when he walks in
Thank goodness. The only reasonable outcome.
Take that reality tv douche bag!
So when's Pratt's moving party? Be swore he'd leave Los Angeles if he lost...
Touching my fingertips together lightly like Mr. Burns quietly saying; "Excellent."
The fact that he even got that many votes tells me that voters in LA just didn't or or take the election seriously.
Time for him to pack up a u-haul and get out of town.
I am waiting for a huge meltdown from MAGAs.
Didn’t Pratt say that he’d leave California if he lost?
We are spared that nutcase. Whew! 😅
He said he would leave if he lost. Did anyone get that in writing?
Back to selling crystals for Mr Pratt.
Local elections matter because they directly shape how we live, work, and connect as neighbors. Democracy works best when citizens stay engaged at every level. Whether it's LA or your hometown, your voice counts in building the future we all share. Check out the1776.org to see
Good Spencer Pratt gives me the "ICK"
🎶 Na Na Na Na... Na Na Na Na... Hey Hey Hey GOODBYE!(Spencer Pratt) 🎶
Thank goodness! Enough of these unqualified no experienced reality candidates.
Not a Bass fan but it seems we cannot find anyone willing to stand up to lawless federal law enforcement. Do folks believe this endless lawlessness will end with a better country for anyone?
So when is Pratt leaving LA?!?! He said he would! Get the fuck out Spencer! 🤣🤣🤣
Guess the little piece of s*it will just have pack up and move his fake ass to some place more MAGA centric like moving in w Kyle “the spider” Rittenhouse
BREAKING: DDHQ has called it: Karen Bass and Nithya Raman will advance to the general election for LA Mayor in November. Spencer Pratt is OUT.
Looks like Pratt is joining Rittenhouse and the perpetually aggrieved tour.
Has he started packing yet...?
Didn’t Spencer Pratt promise to leave the country if he didn’t win…?
If he’s serious about public service, why doesn’t he run for something more suitable to his level of expertise? And then earn/work his way up.
HAHAHA Heather Dubrow, Paris Hilton, Joe Rogan, Kristin Cavallari, Billy Bush, Audrina Patridge, Brody Jenner, Katharine McPhee, Joanna Krupa, Dennis Quaid, & Selma Blair outed themselves as CLOWNS for nothing!
Did he really think the maga shit on people routine would work in LA?
What time will Spencer be packed and moved out of LA?
She got more votes than he did... or is projected to get more votes than he will... and somehow the righties, with zero understanding of basic math, think someone is cheating? Don't the Repubs have any poll watchers/vote counters to explain things to these Repub mopes?
Thank God, one less 'reality show' candidate running for office.
This is not a big gotcha moment. Dr. Libby is off the rails! bsky.app/profile/mrsb...
So Spencer Pratt is going to be the Assistant United States Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas?
Spencer Pratt DIDN'T HAVE FIRE INSURANCE, maybe he should really think about leaving, nobody will miss them.
Start packing Pratt. California doesn’t want your ass!
Is it weird that I give Jimmy Kimmel some credit for this?
Awesome news but his little brain is certain to explode.
Welp time for him to have that crystal removed from his keister.
Thank goodness. Last thing they need is another reality performer 😫
I wonder if he needs help packing his bags
Yeah, two women beat a white guy! Good job, America! Make America colorful again. 👏🇨🇦
You rock LA. Thanks to all the voters!
Amazing that as a city, as a state, as a country, we celebrate when the crazy dipshit dumpster fire doesn't make it on to the ballot, because we have such a low expectation of our fellow citizens.
Gotta give Spencer Pratt credit, he may have sold out his morals but at least he finished 2 spots higher than Riley Gaines
Has Pratt left the state yet?

Hitch up your trailer bro, it’s time.
Is Spencer Pratt going to claim the election was stolen?
Just stop your crying its a sign of the times Welcome to the final show Hope you're wearing your best clothes youtu.be/We4QQCMwyrg
Can we donate to asshats’ moving boxes?
In a day of erratic news, mostly on the negative side outside of the convicted felon pedophile's psycho collapse on Eat the Press, this is glorious and will start the week off on a major positive 🤗
Where are the "Pratt falls" headlines?
Nananana, nananana, heyyyyy, good-bye!!! #PackItUpSpency
So, that means he's gonna head for The Hills?
Thank goodness!! I was going to be severely disappointed in LA had he advanced.
Tell that JERK to leave LA!
If you’re in line to dunk on Spencer Pratt: STAY IN LINE.
Spencer Pratt can still be the mayor of Los Angeles if Mike Pence has the courage.
i don't worship insults of spencer pratt. i think they're beautiful. the ones i've collected all went up in value after his campaign burned to the ground. it's a museum-grade collection. when i go up to heaven, they'll be in a museum, the pratt insult collection at the natural history museum
I’m spraying dunks in all directions like a garden sprinkler
Some music while you wait:
I was at an art/architecture talk this afternoon at Barnsdall Park Gallery Theatre and they interrupted the program to announce that Nithya Raman has moved into second place. The crowd cheered. I love LA.
Maybe he should have paid for his home insurance rather than buying drugs
When is he leaving LA as promised?

We should all be capable of multi-tsking.
I got mine in early lol
Like did he think he would magically make Democrat voters want to vote Republican by doing Republican things 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Yes, thank you, I am number 5,236,986.
The Daily Wire should do a show chronicling his move outta LA and call it: "Spencer's Big Move." Nobody will watch!
Important question: where do we drop off boxes to help with their move?
If your dunk is disputed, insist on your right to fill out a provisional dunk.
Never vote for a guy with two last names
I just want him to move out of CA.
Can you imagine being so mired in the nonsense of rightwing BS—and so goddamn stupid—that you call for people to die over [checks notes] reality TV idiot Spencer Pratt coming in third in an LA mayoral election? What D-U-M-[another letter] times we live in.
This is like a black hole of anti-dignity
Anyone calling themselves "Esq." Is suspect 🤔
Get a grip dude. My god. 🙄
What exactly is it they want to "put an end to"? Counting all votes cast? These people are just ridiculous. If their sports team were winning at halftime, they would sue to prevent the second half from being played, and insist their team be declared the winner.
Guaranteed he won’t be out there shoulder to shoulder screeching the rallying cry.
So this fool is a doctor and a lawyer? And he doesn’t understand the concept that maybe voters chose another candidate?
Shouldn't the DOJ indict him for this. Imagine if someone called for a civil war over say a Texas election result
Democracy can't survive like this.
You realize that if Hitler was alive today, he'd definitely be their guy.
Can you imagine what the election in November is going to be? FFS!
Dr Mike sounds like he needs a mental health check...
Well the esq. after MD kinda gave it away for me 🤣
I am simply shocked, SHOCKED, that a Republican lost a primary for mayor in a conservative stronghold like... checking my notes here...Los Angeles. Wait.
Conservatism is not a political movement. It is a psychotic cult.
I’m sure Dump will give him a job. He was likely hoping to get Dump’s attention whether he won or not.
Can you imagine, the absolute stupidity of a magat, to honestly believe that the overwhelming victory by Dems, to redistricting earlier this year, that there was any legitimate chance to then turn the state red? The utter stupidity is astounding in Magats. Cry harder, dipsticks
So this man is calling for violence. Hey FBI, where you at? Any one of us would have had an immediate knock on the door.
“Your vote doesn’t matter” is his claim - yet he’s against counting all the votes. So what he really means is “Your vote as a white right-wing nut doesn’t count more than the votes of non-white and non-crazy people, as God intended!”
Maybe repurpose Alligator Alcatraz for these nut jobs…and no cellular or internet connectivity.
LA County is 4 Democrats to every Republican. Why in God’s green earth would anyone intelligent vote for Spencer Pratt. Especially with Trump backing him! I guess that’s lost on a moron.
Arm yourselves. We are dealing with crazy. I’ll just keep drinking water as long as it doesn’t turn brown. You keep stirring the pot.
Eww, it's hard to wrap my head around the idea this man was educated?
"Hey, let's be careful out there" - Sgt. Phil Esterhaus (Hill Street Blues)

Once the Kirk Cameron domino falls, the world will burn.
Crossing him off my list of primary care physicians
Spencer Pratt. The dickhead boyfriend of Heidi Montag on The Hills. Two talentless idiots
Isn't this incitement to riot? Shouldn't he be arrested?
“would’ve have”? Also, Spencer Pratt is one of the dumbest people on the planet.
I'd be frightened if Dr. Libby was my physician. Rather unhinged, he is.
Whoever the fuck this guy is, he should be arrested - calling for murder.
Dr. Libby needs to get a visit from Law Enforcement.
As intelligent as you, and you undoubtedly are very intelligent I don't think you see it yet, the maga cult is armed and willing to kill. This probably wont set them off but the closer you get to the mid terms the more people who do have sway over the cult are going to call for violence.
I'm sorry, but whaaat? I'm trying my best in these difficult times to understand American politics but it keeps getting more absurd by the day. Who shot who in the what now?
Once again, an attorney tied to MAGA doing things that NO attorney should do - call for violence. Where is the FUCKING BAR ASSOCIATION? Come take out your trash!!
If that's real, I think law and medical licenses are on the block.
And liberals are using heated rhetoric 🤣 Adorable
I "would've have ever thought" that Americans could've have ever been so brainsnatched. But here we are.
Is he actually a lawyer? Threatening to overthrow the government seems like a reasonable thing to make a bar complaint about.
You know at some point we really have to address the mental health issues in this country.
Los Angeles is around 70% registered Democrats and yet the right wing is pretending that Spencer Pratt ever had a chance.
But the left uses too much violent rhetoric.
Not sure he should be keeping his medical license if he's going to be so pro-murder.
Wait, who's the patriots and who's the tyrants getting killed in this scenario? Is Doctor MAGA in that demographic?
I deleted my Twitter account the moment we learned the Musk deal was final. So - can they write a ton of words now, no limits? Like Trump does at his fake social media site?
Idiot and so is Pratt
It would be a shame if we all reposted this and Dr. Mike Libby MD Esq.'s patients saw it.
Libby MD Esq. is an idiot. Pratt came in 3rd when only the top 2 advance. Also, if the tree of liberty requires blood, he should supply his own traitorous blood to feed it.
Ten bucks says right now instead of manning the battlements he's like having dinner at Panera
I mean why would the people vote for a council member who is more qualified over a reality tv star?Makes no sense 😂😂
No. Where the civil war will start is in places like NJ where ice is refusing to Alli inspection by the GOVERNOR...this is JUST a set up for violence leading to civil unrest on a national scale. Ugh
Real Ted “Theodore” Logan, esquire, energy from this one.
Registered Dems outnumber Rs in LA. Spencer Pratt hadn't a logistical chance of winning. Bumkus to think so.
And as Mike charged the ramparts he looked behind him to see everyone shouting encouragement from the local McDonald’s
Spencer Pratt is finished. He was never going to be mayor of Los Angeles. And he isn’t making it to the general ballot. So just one question: Spencer, when are you leaving?
Don’t come to Arizona you freaking weirdo!
🎶The Hills are aliiiive with the sound of losing.🎶
They never leave. They buy a house in Texas or Florida and then live in LA because the weather sucks in Texas and Florida.
He and Andrew Cuomo can room together in Shreveport.
Hahahahaha. Such a great day for #LA!! Congrats @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social
Don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out, Mr. Pratt!
Wait till Steve Hilton finds out that Republicans aren’t as in demand as he thinks - a former UK conservative, who has no business running for office in the United States Are Steve and Prat gonna be buddy buddy roommates in some red state hovel
Please stay out of Nevada!! We have enough California republikkkan transplants!!
I suppose he’ll now just move to Florida like the rest of ‘em.
Hey Pratt! You’re not an airport. No need to announce departures. Just go.
I’ve always said when a public figure spouts off about leave if something happens or doesn’t and then said events come to pass they shouldn’t be given a choice. Run the fuckers out on a rail.
unless that grifter is already in line at the boarding gate not soon enough “Spencer Pratt is finished. He was never going to be mayor of Los Angeles. And he isn’t making it to the general ballot. So just one question: Spencer, when are you leaving?”
Hey Spencer! Don't come here.
I remember when the dementia patient in the White House said he’d leave if he lost in 2020. I think he said something like, “You’ll never see me again if I lose.” One more broken promise. pratt is yet another thin skinned lying ex reality tv personality.
Good riddance you vain crackpot.
Don't let the screen door hit you where the good Lord split you. As my mother would say.
Good! Pratt is just a parody of a human being.
Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
This sore loser threatens his Stoopid on your City.
He’d fit in well as a cabana boy at MAL
Yeah where's this "last American Dream" at that he wants to ruin? I'm gonna be on the move for this last part of my life, I don't wanna go wherever he is... 🙃
Pratt did a splat. See ya bozo
Is he gonna do a pratt fall on his way out? 😈
Please don’t come to my state! We have enough morons here.
Around the same time as Lena Dunham
His “last American dream” city must be some shithole in the former Confederacy. They seem to be magnets for dead Enders like Pratt.
Bye, no one will miss you Pratt.
Florida would suit you, Pratt.
👋 Ba Bye don't let big Bear hit you in the ass one the way out.
Floriduh is the only place for him
prat noun informal an incompetent or stupid person; an idiot. a person's buttocks
LOS ANGELES: Karen Bass and Nithya Raman are now in first & second position in the mayoral race in Los Angeles, with 34.7% and 27.1%. Spencer Pratt is now in third position, with 26.7%. That's based on roughly 50K ballots being counted today in the city of LA. There are about 130K left.
What I wrote yesterday remains true; given the number of ballots left, if she carries what's left by as much as each of the last 3 days' batches, she'll end up 3-4% ahead.
god damn I’m looking forward to not hearing about Spencer Pratt for at least another couple of decades
Mmmmmm I hope he pops a vessel trying to figure out how he came in third against two women splitting the democratic vote.
If Spencer Pratt can pull nearly 27% in Los Angeles, maybe the real story isn’t about him at all. Maybe it’s about how much frustration exists with the city’s political establishment.
When you leave LA, Spencer, please don't come here.
Pratt is all set up to cry fraud and ask Trump to step in. Trump can not pass up a chance to cause trouble. Watch for this to get dragged out bigley time.
This is taking far too long. They have to find a better way. I have no skin in the game but the thought that Spencer Pratt could be mayor turns my stomach almost as much as trump being president.
Well Jimmy Kimmel got his wish. He doesn’t have to vote for Karen Bass or Spencer Pratt.
I can hear crystals breaking and packing tape screeching all the way from L.A. to SF Bay Area. It's a glorious day! 🌞
Spencer Pratt’s trailer has unfortunately rolled down a big hill into a giant novelty toilet
Spencer Pratt can still be mayor if Mike Pence has the courage
They would flush him but it’s a dang low flow toilet and the turd is too big
*solemnly* there were no first responders.
sources say he made a spencer splatt
One day before the election, LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt predicts he will get over 50% of the vote to win outright and avoid a runoff.
The concept of losing to not one but two women of color has never entered his little pea brain.
Pillsbury Proud Boy Spencer “I spent a million dollars on crystals” Pratt is a LOSER 😁
Raman passes Pratt in the LA Mayor tally
Keep reality tv “stars” out of our reality!
obviously....the crystals lied to Pratt
White male entitlement and hubris dies hard. 🙄
🤣🤣🤣 nobody wants another reality show fucker look at what the reality fuckup we have now has done
The people telling Spencer he’s awesome and a winner are the same people telling Trump he won three elections by a landslide.
And when he loses, it will be rigged and the winner cheated. He will be all over MSM spewing about the rigged election because he has watched the same bad behavior be rewarded for the past 10 years.
I sat here for 20 minutes and laughed
He said that BS so he can say it was "stolen" and "rigged" from him because he should have gotten over 50%. He's stealing Trump's schtick.
Jesus he could be the son of Trump Obnoxious misinformation spreader Weird voice
Of course he knew he had to set it up to cry foul.. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
No Spencer LA is just not in to you ….🤣🤣
He also said he would leave the city if he lost...
There is nothing as self-confident as an ignorant asshole.
BREAKING: A tsunami alert was cancelled for the Los Angeles area earlier this evening, as a smaller wave arrived that had no measurable impact on the city and was forgotten nearly as quickly as it broke.
I just noticed he has his own version of that silly dance move that Rump does. Anyway, that's one cult that dies in its infancy.
He was only off by about 100%
I have to say Spencer Pratt. Something about that. I'd vote for a sewer rat. Rather than a Maga twat.
But he's procured a ticket aboard the right-wing media gravy train. And that was his ultimate goal. So, for the next 4 years, every time a turd is seen on the Walk of Fame, Fox News will send a crew to cover it from every angle & Pratt will be there to blame Bass or Raman for letting it happen.
Trumpers don’t seem to understand that California is BLUE state and we don’t want their kind deciding anything for us.
Tell that JERK to leave LA!
HE got his grift either way. I wonder where he's moving? Do you think they'd lower themselves to Florida? Or is he going to run for Congress somewhere in California?
hard to believe a reality tv "star" is so disconnected w reality
Tsunami of votes not for you!!
Guess we are witnessing a pratt fall.
goodbye and good riddance, spencer pratt you’re an asshole and everyone hates you and that’s been true as long as you’ve been in the public eye now let’s get nithya over the line in november against karen bass
time to keep a campaign promise, spencer
this will be much more enjoyable than the horrible slog of becerra vs hilton, where at best we just get becerra :/
I like to imagine Bass is having a harder time processing this news than Spencer Pratt is.
NEW: A vote update in the LA mayor's race puts Nithya Raman ahead of Spencer Pratt by 3,000 votes. Karen Bass has already advanced to the general election. There's not enough vote yet to declare which other candidate will advance. This is a normal process. There is nothing wrong with this process.
All the dems waited to the last minute to see who we needed to prop up to get Hilton out. That's why votes are late
I fully expect Spencer the Pratt to jump on the "it's rigged" Titanic with Trump.
Wow, a Pratt fall coming out of Hollywood is so on brand.
California needs to adopt the Colorado mail in system. We get almost 100% results on election night and we have the first or second highest turnout rate
Fingers crossed 🤞 this holds. Ideal run-off is Bass and Raman
It’s only problematic because the media can’t wait to start constructing false narratives right when the first votes are immediately released and there’s no sense of context or patience with how the voting in California actually works
Jarring that there are this many people with completely cooked brains in LA
Tell that JERK to leave LA!
BREAKING: Spencer Pratt will not make run off in LA Mayor election Nithya Raman surges ahead in L.A. mayor race www.latimes.com/california/s...
Sounds like the promise to leave really motivated people.
Now we'll never know what would happen if we put a reality star in charge
Somehow being a dumb white guy was not enough 😂😂😂
It's about time we got some good news
And after Rupert Murdoch platformed Spencer Pratt on Masked Singer
He’s leaving LA now? That’s what he said right? #KeepYourPromise
Cue the stolen election BS
Tootle-ooo motherfucker. Go cry to Heidi.
😭 So sad. Maybe America has learned about unqualified C list celebrities entering politics? Or am I expecting too much?
So when is Pratt leaving? Is he packed yet? I think he could get lots of help w that…
I glanced at Twitter and it's amazing how a bunch of right-wingers have convinced themselves that a know-nothing right-wing douche like Spencer Pratt coming in third in the Los Angeles mayoral contest simply must -- must! -- be fraud. What's their evidence? Fuck you, that's their evidence. Fraud!
Wrote about it! 😂 open.substack.com/pub/agentsof...
It seems to be their go-to now. ‘My guy didn’t win. There must be fraud! Call out the Oath Keepers!!!’
Wait, so the guy they plotted committing voter fraud to elect didn't win, and therefore it must be *other* voter fraud that is at fault, and not simply the fact that the guy sucks (which is why they were planning their own voter fraud in the first place)?
This is America in 2026. Everyone has lost the damn minds
What do the Republican election observers say? They watch the entire vote counting process.
I believe the evidence that a know-nothing right-wing douch is supposed to win lives in the White House.
A waste and an abuse of an MD and a JD degree if you ask me. Perhaps they're from the Trump School.
1. BREAKING Nithya Raman now leads Spencer Pratt in the LA Mayor’s race. The latest batch breaks: 40.59% for Nithya Raman (+19,096 votes) 33.94% for Karen Bass (+15,691 votes) 18.14% for Spencer Pratt (+8,489 votes)
2. Current totals: Karen Bass: 250,871 (34.68%) Nithya Raman: 196,198 (27.12%) Spencer Pratt: 193,085 (26.69%) Current margins: Bass leads Raman by 54,673 votes. Raman leads Pratt by 3,113 votes.
Now that Spencer Pratt is in 3rd place should we start collecting for the U-Haul truck he’ll need to move out of LA?
