Mr. Pratt, a Republican who once starred on reality TV, finished third in the primary, receiving about a quarter of the vote. Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles and Councilwoman Nithya Raman, both Democrats, will advance to a runoff in November, The Associated Press determined this week. For days, President Trump had cited Mr. Pratt’s loss as a prime indication of voter fraud in Los Angeles, without offering evidence. Mr. Trump questioned how it was possible for Mr. Pratt to have been in second place in the returns on election night only to slip to third days later. C…

Spencer Pratt concedes LA mayoral race with combative message Ex-reality TV star and MAGA-backed Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt angrily conceded the race Friday in a combative video in which he derided, and appeared to threaten, the women who finished ahead of him. Nearly four days after The Associated Press projected Councilmember Nithya Raman will advance to the November general election to face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, Pratt announced that “the campaign portion of my mission to save Los Angeles is coming to a close, and I’m moving on to the next, more interesting phase.” With 99% of ballots counted as of Friday, the AP put Pratt in third place, with just more than a quarter of the vote — 3.5 percentage points behind Raman and nearly 9 points behind Bass.

By Sunday, she had overtaken him by less than 1 percentage point. President Donald Trump and other MAGA supporters suggested Pratt’s apparent reversal of fortune proved fraud, but elections experts say it is California’s voting system, coupled with the city’s small Repub…
