Spencer Pratt is diving into the deep end of Los Angeles politics and making quite a splash! The former reality star is reportedly outpacing current Mayor Karen Bass in campaign fundraising, bringing in nearly $540,000 since announcing his candidacy just a few months ago. Bass, meanwhile, is struggling to break the $500k mark, with her total hovering around $495,000.
It seems Pratt isn’t just here for show; he’s garnered support from some recognizable Hollywood names, placing him in the spotlight for more than just his TV history. The stakes aren’t just monetary; Pratt’s campaign is fueled by pointed criticisms of Bass, particularly around her handling of the Los Angeles wildfires last year. With drama unfolding and the campaign heating up, it’ll be interesting to see if Pratt’s celebrity flair can translate into political traction. What do you think—is he a serious candidate, or just reality TV’s latest attention-seeker?
