Spencer Pratt’s viral mayoral run gains traction in Los Angeles

Spencer Pratt rose to fame as the antagonist on MTV’s reality television show, The Hills, but has powered his Los Angeles mayoral campaign with civic outrage after his house burned to the ground in the Palisades fire last year.

Now, critics are saying the political newcomer may be moving too far, too fast, with rivals exposing cracks in his proposals and inconsistencies in his statements. But his fan base and social media supporters keep growing, aided in part by Elon Musk‘s repeated reposts and replies on X.
