Republican candidate Spencer Pratt appears to be gaining enough momentum to extend his political campaign into the next round of Los Angeles’ mayoral contest, setting up what could become a closely watched November runoff.
According to early ballot returns and multiple election projections released Wednesday morning, Pratt is expected to advance past the initial voting round and secure a place in the runoff against incumbent Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. While the race has not been officially certified, the current vote tally suggests the outcome is becoming increasingly clear as ballots continue to be processed under California’s notoriously slow counting system.
Election officials are still working through large volumes of mail-in and provisional ballots, meaning the final results remain technically unsettled. However, several independent forecasts and media projections indicate that Bass and Pratt are positioned as the leading contenders to move forward, with other challengers falling behind in the final stretch of tabulation.
Political observers note that Bass has maintained a consistent advantage in early polling, though she has repeatedly failed to cross the critical 50 percent threshold needed to win outright and avoid a runoff. That gap has kept the race competitive, even as the incumbent maintains front-runner status.
