Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt fell behind Councilwoman Nithya Raman in the city’s mayoral primary election Sunday night, threatening the former reality TV star’s chances of advancing to the November general election against incumbent mayor Karen Bass.

Raman overtook Pratt for second place after a vote count update revealed she had received 27.1% of the votes counted thus far, compared to Pratt’s 26.7%. 83.2% of the expected vote has been counted.
