Spencer Pratt draws praise after Los Angeles mayoral debate
Los Angeles mayoral debate shocks voters as Spencer Pratt draws strong reactions See why his blunt style and Bass attacks are sparking attention online
Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt drew strong reactions after his debut performance in a Los Angeles mayoral debate on Wednesday night.
Pratt is running in a threeway nonpartisan race against incumbent Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman. The debate focused on issues such as crime, homelessness, wildfire response, and whether noncitizens should be allowed to vote in local elections.
Supporters on social media praised Pratt for giving short, direct answers and for attacking Bass over her handling of the Palisades fire response. Some commentators said he came across as the strongest personality on stage, though others noted that he offered few policy details.
