Spencer Pratt claims divine support in Los Angeles mayoral race during Fox News interview

Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV personality and Republican candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, appeared on Fox & Friends to discuss his campaign ahead of the June 2 primary election.

During the interview, he suggested that he believes divine intervention is guiding his candidacy, stating that he feels “God wants me to just win with 51%” and end the race outright in the primary.

Pratt entered the mayoral contest in January following the loss of his Pacific Palisades home in the 2025 wildfires, and has since positioned himself as an outsider candidate despite his Republican affiliation in a heavily Democratic city.The article highlights Pratt’s unexpectedly strong fundraising performance, reporting that his campaign raised approximately $2.72 million in a recent filing period, significantly outpacing incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and fellow progressive challenger Nithya Raman.A recent poll showed Bass leading the race with Pratt in second place and Raman close behind, suggesting a competitive three-way contest.

Pratt has described his campaign as nonpartisan in tone, claiming support from Democrats despite his Republican registration and past support for Donald Trump.However, scrutiny has emerged over his campaign finances, including payments to figures connected to conservative political organizations.

His candidacy has also drawn public criticism from his sister, Stephanie Pratt, who has urged voters not to support him and accused him of seeking publicity.

The report portrays a campaign marked by viral attention, controversy, and unconventional messaging as Pratt attempts to translate celebrity status and outsider positioning into electoral viability in Los Angeles politics.
