Pratt's viral LA mayoral ads draw praise and brief rebuttal

Reality TV figure Spencer Pratt released a campaign ad for the Los Angeles mayoral race portraying rivals’ mansions, a move described in coverage as a 'genius' campaign ad that has gone viral. The ad centers on highlighting opponents’ wealth as Pratt seeks support in the competitive race.

In response to socialist candidate Nithya Raman criticizing him for filming outside her lavish home, Pratt posted a brief retort described as a 'nine-word victory lap,' signaling a quick, pointed rebuttal rather than a prolonged exchange. The exchange adds a contentious dimension to the local campaign as candidates trade barbs over media moments.

Raman’s critique and Pratt’s quick comeback illustrate the high-drama dynamics of the LA mayoral contest, where media visibility and personal narratives are central to the battle for votes.
