Spencer Pratt, the former reality TV star running for Los Angeles mayor, finished third in the primary with 25.8% of the vote and failed to advance to the November runoff. Incumbent Karen Bass and progressive City Council member Nithya Raman topped the race and will face off in a head-to-head matchup — a significant outcome given Pratt had raised his profile substantially before the election. This was called by AP as the final vote counts stabilized over several days, with Raman notably moving from third place to second as late votes were counted.
