In Los Angeles' nonpartisan mayoral primary, incumbent Karen Bass leads with 36.5% of votes tallied so far, while Pratt holds a strong second at 30.1%, ahead of Councilmember Nithya Raman's 20.2%. No one reached the 50% needed to win outright, setting up a November runoff between the top two amid the city's battles with homelessness, crime, and urban decline. Pratt's social media campaign, fueled by before-and-after images of areas like Skid Row and his personal fire story, tapped into voter frustration despite his reality TV past.
