Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV star, is running for mayor in Los Angeles, where he has received public praise from former President Donald Trump. This endorsement has raised concerns among Democrats, who argue that it could negatively impact Pratt's campaign in a predominantly Democratic city.
Coverage from The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, and The Guardian emphasizes the potential drawbacks of Trump's support for Pratt, framing it as a liability in the mayoral race.
