Spencer Pratt popularity ‘wake up call’ for California Democrats: Van Jones
“There’s a lot of problems that people are upset about,” Jones said Tuesday evening on CNN “NewsNight.” “If a reality TV star winds up going head-to-head with Karen Bass, given how unpopular the reality TV star president is, Donald Trump, it just gives you a sense of the level of discontent,” he continued. Jones noted that he ultimately expects Bass to survive reelection but argued that the race should serve as a warning to California Democrats. Per California election laws, all candidates appear on one ballot regardless of party.
