Spencer Pratt issues bold rallying cry after Nithya Raman suddenly soars past him in LA mayors race

Spencer Pratt spoke out Monday morning to issue a bold rallying cry to his supporters after losing his second place lead in the Los Angeles mayor’s election to Nithya Raman.“Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference.There’s still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next three weeks to count!” Pratt said.“Let’s git-r-dun!” he added.Pratt performed well on election night, gaining a sizable lead over Raman, who was nearly eight points behind on June 2.While incumbent Mayor Karen Bass advanced to the general election runoff, Los Angeles election rules state that if no candidate secures a majority of the vote, the top-two vote-getters advance to a runoff in November.

The race for second place remains wide open.As more mail-in votes were counted over the weekend, Raman gained ground and is now leading by 0.4 percentage points, or 3,113 votes, with nearly 83% of the vote counted.As of Monday morning, Bass holds nearly 35% of the vote, with Pratt at 26.7% and Raman at 27.1%.With roughly 148,000 ballots left to be counted, the results could still shift either way.However, political observers say it is likely Raman will maintain her lead, given that late-counted mail ballots in Los Angeles tend to come from more progressive and Democratic-leaning voters.But Pratt remains confident he can regain ground.

He has also posted about potential voter fraud.However, there is no evidence to support those claims.
