Former reality star Spencer Pratt has officially lost the LA Mayor's race. The Associated Press made the race call at 7:55 pm ET Monday that progressive challenger Nithya Raman will advance to a runoff against incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass. Pratt remained in second place until Sunday, when Raman pulled ahead as California officials counted mail-in ballots, which were allowed to be sent up until 8 p.m. on Election Day and generally lean more liberal and Democratic. President Donald Trump sent a top Justice Department official to Los Angeles on Friday to oversee the counting and falsely spread that California's Democrats were rigging the election. Pratt, a registered Republican, shook up the race, turning it into a vengeance campaign against Bass after losing his $3 million home in last year's Palisades fire. He is an alum of the popular reality TV show, The Hills, where he met his wife, Heidi Montag. Pratt got a boost from user-created AI videos and his own team's creative ads, in which the reality veteran pledged to be a change agent to tackle the city's massive homeless problem. The Associated Press declared that Bass would advance to the November election on Tuesday night, but it took days to count the outstanding mail-in ballots to determine her opponent.
