Spencer Pratt warns 'good luck LA' after new poll vindicates his stunning prediction

A new survey shows Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman pulling well ahead of incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the race to lead the city, with Election Day six weeks away. The University of California Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, working with the Los Angeles Times, found Raman drawing support from 39% of likely voters compared with 28% for Bass, though roughly a third of those surveyed had not yet made up their minds. Poll director Mark DiCamillio called that level of indecision unusual so close to a vote, according to Fox News.

Raman, a Democratic Socialists of America member, finished second behind Bass in June's primary, when Bass led with 34% to Raman's 29%. Reality-TV personality and independent candidate Spencer Pratt finished third with 26% and was knocked out of contention. The new poll found most of Pratt's former backers, 63%, still undecided, with the remainder splitting narrowly toward Bass over Raman.

Pratt reacted to the results on social media, telling followers he had warned that skipping his campaign would hand the race to Raman and claiming she entered "10 minutes before the clerk's office closed" because she anticipated he would beat Bass head-to-head. In a follow-up post, he accused Raman of betraying Bass despite having campaigned for her, warning Democrats never to trust the DSA, and shared older footage of Bass endorsing Raman's 2024 city council reelection bid.
