In the recent Los Angeles mayoral primary, Spencer Pratt has positioned himself as a strong contender, securing 29.1% of the votes and placing second behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, who garnered 36.4%. This primary result sets the stage for a runoff election scheduled for November 3, 2023, as no candidate achieved the required majority. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman trails in third with 21.6% of the vote, leaving her chances of advancing in the election slim. As the election progresses, the vote counts may still change, potentially affecting the standings. The competition between Pratt and Bass has been contentious, with Pratt accusing Bass of violating election laws by campaigning too close to polling stations, while Bass has criticized Pratt for using A.I.-generated videos that she claims incite violence. With the primary behind them, both candidates are now focused on the upcoming general election, aiming to secure the mayoral position for Los Angeles.
