The incumbent politician will likely face off again against reality star Spencer Pratt in November
After a tumultuous race leading to Tuesday’s election, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will advance to a runoff in November. A second candidate has not yet been called, leaving the battle between reality star Spencer Pratt and city council member Nithya Raman. Early Wednesday morning returns showed that Pratt was in second place behind Bass.
“I appreciate you for standing with me when others doubted me, because you know who I am,” Bass told supporters (via AP). “I have devoted my entire life to serving the city that I love, where I was born, and I’m going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November.”
Pratt rose to fame as a reality TV villain on MTVs The Hills. He and his wife, Heidi Montag, have been tabloid staples since the early 2000s, often in regards to their financial troubles and televised antics. During the 2025 Palisades fire, the Pratt’s mansion was burned to the ground alongside large swaths of their neighborhood.
