Nithya Raman overtakes Spencer Pratt in L.A. mayoral race

https://ktla.com/news/local-news/spencer-pratt-falls-behind-la-mayoral-primary/

What looked like a clear path to the November runoff for Spencer Pratt has suddenly become a much steeper climb.

Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman has overtaken the former reality TV star in the race for second place, according to the latest vote count from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.

The shift comes after days of steadily narrowing margins as election officials continue processing hundreds of thousands of outstanding ballots.

The battle for second place has become one of the most surprising storylines of the 2026 election cycle, with Raman now leading Pratt by just over 3,000 votes.

I’d be surprised if she is reelected if she runs against another D.
