Twofold:
Two far-left candidates may split the vote, and Pratt, for all the grief the Left bestows upon him, is not really identifiable as a MAGA Republican—the thing Los Angeles voters hate most—argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.
A big issue in L.A. that goes unmentioned is thousands of unaccountable mobile street food vendors selling without licensing or health inspections or paying sales tax since 2022, but restaurants are legally required licensing & inspected & paying sales tax to operate or they get fined & shut down.

Soon, it will be only too obvious to ignore.
Spencer Pratt should up his security. He’s running against a lot of evil, mentally-ll individuals.

I live outside los angeles and still get the commercials on the TV, the biggest difference between this election and all the others is Everyone but Pratt is runnjng against Donald Trump, that’s all they talk about in their ads.
Spencer Pratt is running against dedicated traitors to the United States of America.
As if the vote counters would allow a republican on the ballot.
.
Not even close, where I live it is full of cops, we all have acreage, tractors and guns.
YES
I live 30 minutes east of Los Angeles in La Verne. We vote for our own small town mayor, but LOTS of talk about Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles... Oh how I pray he pulls this through... it would be a miracle, but Los Angeles is prime for that miracle.
