I Know Voter Fraud Is Wrong and All, but Who’s up for a Super-Fun Road Trip to Los Angeles?
Los Angeles continues to struggle with recovery efforts following the devastating 2025 wildfires that killed 31 people and destroyed over 16,000 structures, with only 10 homes rebuilt so far. Reality TV personality Spencer Pratt, a Republican, is running for mayor and has gained traction in polls by criticizing the city's handling of homelessness, crime, and mismanagement. Despite his growing visibility and appeal among Republicans, analysts doubt his chances in the heavily Democratic city.
