President Donald Trump may be preparing to drop a political bomb on the Los Angeles mayoral race by endorsing reality TV star Spencer Pratt.
The buzz surrounding Trump’s potential endorsement of Pratt has exploded within conservative circles as the former reality star’s long-running campaign begins to attract serious attention outside the Hollywood gossip pages.
“Trump loves celebrity candidates, and Spencer knows exactly how to dominate the headlines,” says one Republican insider. said gossip columnist Rob Shooter.
The source added that the possibility of Trump supporting Pratt was “absolutely discussed” within the White House ahead of the June 2 primary.
A White House official told the Daily Mail on Saturday that if Trump decides to run for president, the announcement will come directly from him on Truth Social.
Pratt, 42, has become one of the most unpredictable figures in the race, but he insists he does not carry the MAGA banner despite being a registered Republican.
“I don’t represent a party,” Brat declared during a recent debate, presenting himself as an “angry Angeleno” focused on Los Angeles’ escalating homelessness crisis, public safety concerns, drug crime, and street chaos.
The TV personality’s political rise has already drawn attacks from her rival Nithya Raman, who called him a “MAGA Republican.”
Raman serves on the Los Angeles City Council and is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass recently claimed that Pratt is exploiting a “public sense of outrage” to build momentum for his mayoral campaign.
“I think it’s tapping into the general feeling of anger that people have, not just in Los Angeles, but in many other places across our country,” Bass told MS NOW on Saturday morning.
