Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt took to social media shortly after losing the Los Angeles mayoral race. He shared an image of a duck on a calm body of water at sunset on the platform X. The post was his first since the vote count confirmed his defeat, and it was left without a caption.
The Los Angeles mayoral race results were announced on Monday at 7:55 p.m. ET. Progressive city councilmember Nithya Raman will advance to the November runoff against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Bass led the primary vote count with 34.3%, while Raman followed with 29%. Pratt secured 25.5% of the votes.
Pratt’s campaign drew attention despite his loss. His candidacy received significant media coverage for its unconventional approach. His campaign focused on criticizing city leadership after last year’s destructive fires in Los Angeles County, which destroyed his home.
The social media post Pratt shared had attracted over 335,000 views and more than 1,000 replies by Tuesday night. An examination of Pratt’s social media presence indicated no additional permanent posts apart from this image since the race concluded.
This election reshapes the campaign landscape, with Raman and Bass, both recognized political figures, set to face off in November.
