“Funny how they never attack my policy ideas… I’m in the arena, son.” Spencer Pratt is firing back at his critics after L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman called him to “mini Trump” and warned voters about the "fascism" he may bring to office. Pratt says opponents are dodging substance and focusing on his past, arguing they “want the continued decline of the city.” Raman says his rise is fueled by frustration across Los Angeles, but is trying to warn voters of heading “in the wrong direction” if that anger isn’t addressed differently. Pratt, running as an independent after losing his home in the Pacific Palisades fire, has leaned into criticism of current leadership as recovery efforts remain a major issue. He's been gaining ground in the race, fueled in part by voters sharing his same frustrations with the status quo.
