How Spencer Pratt’s ‘patently absurd’ bid for mayor fell flat in Los Angeles

Spencer Pratt, an ex-reality television star, launched a bid for mayor of Los Angeles, positioning himself as a solution to the city's problems. Pratt, who had previously lost his home in the Pacific Palisades fire, appealed to disillusioned voters with his criticisms of city leadership. His campaign gained national attention through fervent social media posts, which included the sharing of AI-generated advertisements depicting Los Angeles in an apocalyptic scenario. Despite his efforts to connect with voters through these unconventional methods, Pratt's mayoral campaign ultimately did not succeed in securing the position.
