From reality TV to city hall? Trump-backed Spencer Pratt soars in LA mayor race as Californians vote
Spencer Pratt responds to Newsom’s Bass endorsement, calls them ‘alleged criminal partners’
Kayleigh McEnany discusses Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s controversial Los Angeles homelessness program, highlighting reports of $418 million spent with only 10% effectively getting people off the streets. Spencer Pratt criticizes the alleged corruption, calls out the abuse of dogs on Skid Row, and details his faith-driven mission to make Los Angeles a safer city for mothers and children. Pratt’s mayoral campaign is surging in recent polls against Bass.

Republicans are aiming to break longtime losing streaks by taking first steps toward winning elections for governor and Los Angeles mayor as voters in Democrat-dominated California head to the polls on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s clout over the GOP will once again face a ballot box test, in a gubernatorial showdown in Iowa, while the Hawkeye State’s Democratic Senate nomination is the latest battle between the establishment and progressive wings of the party.
California and Iowa are two of the six states holding primary contests from coast to coast during the first week of June, in elections that will impact November’s midterms, when the GOP’s slim Senate and razor-thin House majorities will be up for grabs.
The election arguably grabbing the most headlines nationally is in Los Angeles, where it’s been three decades since a Republican won a mayoral contest in the nation’s second most populous city. Spencer Pratt, a reality TV star and online influencer-turned-mayoral candidate, is gaining traction, thanks in part to his populist pitch and viral videos.

Pratt, a Republican running as an independent in the left-leaning city, is backed by Trump. His rise is also fueled in part by his well-known status as one of the victims who lost their homes in last year’s devastating wildfires, when over 17,000 homes in Los Angeles County were destroyed, as well as his right-leaning focus on homelessness, crime and government accountability in a city long run by Democrats.
«I keep saying I become the mayor because of moms. Moms are getting me elected. Moms do not feel safe in Los Angeles. Not just feel safe, they are not safe. Nobody’s safe really in LA unless you’re the drug dealer. The drug dealers and the people giving them the needles, the city, our taxpayer money, the needle givers, they’re safe, the meth pipe givers. They’re safe. Everyone else is not safe in LA,» Pratt argued this past weekend in an interview on Fox News’ «Saturday In America with Kayleigh McEnany.»
Pratt is targeting Mayor Karen Bass, a former Democratic congresswoman seeking a second four-year term steering Los Angeles. Bass, who has been endorsed by former Vice President Kamala Harris, a former California senator and state attorney general, as well as the state’s two Democratic senators, Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, last week landed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom’s backing.

Bass is attempting to fend off challenges from the right from Pratt and on the left from progressive City Council member Nithya Raman. If no candidate tops 50% in Tuesday’s nonpartisan mayoral election, the top two finishers will face off in November.
In the race for governor, a whopping 61 candidates are running to succeed Newsom in steering the nation’s most populous state and the world’s fourth-largest-economy.
But heading into the jungle primary, where all candidates regardless of party affiliation appear on the same ballot, with the top two finishers advancing to the general election, only a handful of contenders have a good chance of making the cut.
Among them are Democrats Javier Becerra and Tom Steyer and Republican Steve Hilton.
Becerra, a former longtime congressman and California attorney general who later served as a Cabinet secretary in former President Biden’s administration, would become the first Latino Golden State governor in modern history. Steyer, meanwhile, is a billionaire hedge fund founder turned environmental activist who unsuccessfully ran for his party’s 2020 presidential nomination.

Hilton is a one-time British political strategist turned American conservative commentator and former Fox News Channel host who is backed by Trump.
Also in the race is Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican. Hilton and Bianco are both hoping to become the first California Republican win a gubernatorial election since then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2006 re-election two decades ago.
Bianco has argued that he’s the most conservative candidate in the race.
But Hilton, in an interview on Fox News’ «The Big Weekend Show,» reiterated his argument that «Chad is just too far behind. He can’t make it into the top two. So every vote for him actually helps the Democrats. We have got to make sure of this. We can’t let this opportunity for change slip away.»

Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Alex Padilla mulled launching Democratic bids for governor, but both last year announced they would take a pass. That resulted in the lack of a clear Golden State gubernatorial frontrunner for the first time in more than a quarter century.
And the race was overshadowed for much of last year, as the devastation from the LA wildfires and Trump’s immigration raids grabbed headlines in California.
But the showdown for governor entered the spotlight earlier this year when one of the leading candidates, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, dropped out of the race and then resigned from Congress following a political implosion after facing multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct that he continues to deny.
Swalwell’s exit from the race opened the door for first Steyer and then Becerra to rise in the polls. Steyer shelled out more than $200 million of his own money to blanket the airwaves and the internet with ads.
Bianco, who launched his campaign for governor in April of last year, was among the top contenders in the race until Trump’s endorsement of Hilton in early April blunted his momentum.
Iowa showdowns
In Iowa, the retirements of Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds and GOP Sen. Joni Ernst along with the rough political midterm climate facing Republicans, have Democrats optimistic they can flip the seats in a one-time battleground state that turned red the past decade.
Trump, who carried Iowa by 13 points in his 2024 presidential election victory, last week weighed in on the competitive GOP gubernatorial primary,
The president endorsed Rep. Randy Feenstra in a race that also includes entrepreneur and private school co-founder Zach Lahn, who is backed by the influential conservative group Turning Point USA, state Rep. Eddie Andrews, former state Rep. Brad Sherman and former state administrative services director Adam Steen.

The winner will face Democratic state Auditor Rob Sand, who is unopposed in his primary. Sand is the only Democrat currently elected to statewide office.
The brute force of the president’s endorsement power and the immense grip he has on the Republican Party has been on display in GOP primaries the past month, with his candidates ousting incumbents he targeted in showdowns in Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky and Texas.
Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa is the overwhelming frontrunner to secure her party’s Senate nomination in the race to succeed retiring Ernst.
Hinson, a former TV news anchor who is in her third term representing Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District, is facing a long-shot challenge from former state senator and former U.S. Senate candidate Jim Carlin. Hinson is backed by Trump, Senate Majority Leader Sen. John Thune, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is the campaign arm of the Senate GOP. Hinson, who in 2020 flipped a Democratic-held seat that covers the northeastern portion of Iowa, is seen as a rising star in the party.

The Republican-controlled seat in Iowa is a top target for Democrats and the race is one of about a dozen crucial showdowns in this year’s midterm elections that will determine whether the Republicans hold on to their current 53-47 majority in the chamber.
Hinson will face off in the general election against the winner of an expensive and contentious Democratic Senate primary between state Rep. Josh Turek, a Paralympian, and state Sen. Zach Wahls.
Wahls, a progressive who Republicans have likened to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has the backing of liberal champion Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Turek, the more moderate Senate contender who flipped a GOP-held Iowa House seat in 2022, is backed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. He also has the tacit support of longtime Senate Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. And VoteVets, an establishment-aligned outside group, has spent big bucks on behalf of Turek.
Primaries in Iowa’s 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts will set up general election showdowns in crucial GOP-held seats that Democrats are aiming to flip.
Other showdowns
It’s the same story in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, another purple seat Democrats are eyeing as they try to regain the House majority.
The Republican incumbent, Rep. Tom Kean Jr., has been in the national headlines after being absent from Congress and the campaign trail for three months due to a «a personal medical issue.»
In New Mexico, the race to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is taking top billing.
Former Rep. Deb Haaland, who served as Interior Secretary in former President Joe Biden’s administration and made history as the nation’s first Native American woman to serve as a Cabinet secretary, who’s to make history again as the first Native American woman elected as governor. She faces off against Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman. Three major Republicans are seeking their party’s gubernatorial nomination.
Montana voters will select nominees in Tuesday’s primary to replace departing Republican incumbent Sen. Steve Daines.

The senator and Trump are backing former U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme, who jumped into the race in March immediately after Daines announced his retirement just ahead of the state’s filing deadline, in what appeared to be a carefully choreographed move. Alme faces two longshot rivals for the nomination.
Former state Rep. Reilly Neill appears to be the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in the solidly Republican state.
The Republican and Democratic nominees will face off in the general election against former University of Montana president Seth Bodnar, who is running as an independent and has outraised everyone else in the race.

LA business leader says crime, wildfire fallout fueling Pratt surge as voters seek change: ‘People are angry’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
SANTA MONICA, CA — A business leader and former city council candidate is reacting to Spencer Pratt’s surge in the Los Angeles mayoral race by pointing to crime, the recent wildfires, and the inhospitable business climate as the reason why voters are discontent with the status quo.
«I think a lot of people are concerned about what’s happening, they really don’t know how to fix this, and I think the crime, the homelessness, the addiction, all the above behaviors of what’s happened in our city as politicians that are causing this, I think a lot people are seeing that,» John Putnam, the president of Putnam Brands & Putnam Accessory Group, told Fox News Digital.
«And I think Spencer’s actually bringing the light in a real way. He’s pretty basic with his delivery of his issues and I think that’s resonating a lot. Even if you don’t want to vote for him, you’re listening, though and I think that’s resonating with a lot of people.»
Putnam, a former candidate for Santa Monica City Council in 2024, told Fox News Digital that even though his town of Santa Monica doesn’t vote for LA mayor, the winner’s platform will have a «trickle down» effect all across the county.

«California’s got a big issue, but the city, especially where we live, Santa Monica is a byproduct of what’s happened in Los Angeles and across the world,» Putnam said. «In Santa Monica alone, we’re a people driven economy. 80% of our revenue comes from outside this city. We need revenue being generated from people that are coming here to visit.»
Putnam’s company, which he has run for 40 years, is based near downtown Los Angeles and he told Fox News Digital that it’s clear when you drive around the city that the business climate is being significantly handcuffed by crime, homelessness, high taxes, and other factors.
«It costs so much to operate a business here,» Putnam said. «Out of 250 cities that were surveyed a few years ago, Santa Monica came in number one of being the most expensive place to do business and that’s because of all the regulation, all the other aspects.

«But on top of that, if you can’t create an inviting environment and a safe environment and a clean environment, there’s no hope. I mean, the bottom line, there is zero hope in that arrangement. So we have to do something quickly and the pain is there. We just as voters, hopefully will determine what we have to do to change that.»
Crime has been a highly talked-about issue in the mayoral race between Pratt, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, and progressive Councilwoman Nithya Raman. Putnam says that over the past few years, crime has gotten worse overall, despite statistics that say specific violent crimes are down.
«There’s all sorts of stats, it’s worse, everyone’s trying to sugar coat it in different ways, but the stats are out there, they’re saying crime is down, I think violent crime is down across the country, but all this petty stuff is happening,» Putnam said.
SPENCER PRATT ANNOUNCES LA MAYOR RUN ON ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF PALISADES FIRE THAT DESTROYED HIS HOME

«It’s come in all neighborhoods. I mean you know it’s down in the south side of Los Angeles, east. It’s everywhere. You know even here in Santa Monica, we’re definitely being victims of this behavior of crime, and the drug addiction that’s running rampant in our city that’s causing this kind of criminal activity doesn’t really satisfy anyone. It doesn’t protect us. It doesn’t make us feel safe and it doesn’t help our community just to grow.»
Roughly a year and a half ago, the Los Angeles area was devastated by wildfires in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades that killed 31 people. The Palisades fire crept within a few miles of Putnam’s home in Santa Monica and destroyed more than 6,000 structures, including Pratt’s home.
Putnam told Fox News Digital that the fires, and criticism of Bass’s preparedness and response, is «definitely a point of every conversation» with Los Angeles residents as only a handful of homes have been rebuilt.
«People are feeling left out, they’re not feeling like they’re being helped,» Putnam said. «I mean, their whole town, Altadena and Palisades were just destroyed. Beyond that, you had nail salons, you have all these hair salons, you had restaurants, these people are homeless from their businesses, their income and they aren’t getting the love and the attention they deserve, we need to come together and help those people.»

«That’s what’s frustrating. I think people are angry, but also just really concerned. And I think this is really, Spencer’s really done a good job of bringing that out and letting people know this is not acceptable and we have a choice here.»
Pratt will face off in the mayoral primary on Tuesday night against Bass and progressive city council member Nithya Raman in an election where the top two candidates will move on to the November general election; however, if a candidate receives 50% of the vote, they become the next mayor outright.

Financial Times: Estados Unidos negocia con países europeos una ampliación del despliegue de armas nucleares en la región
Estados Unidos mantiene conversaciones confidenciales sobre la posibilidad de ampliar el despliegue de capacidades nucleares en Europa mediante la incorporación de nuevos países al esquema de reparto nuclear de la OTAN, una iniciativa que busca tranquilizar a los aliados europeos en medio de la preocupación por la reducción de la presencia militar convencional estadounidense en el continente.
Según informó el Financial Times, funcionarios estadounidenses manifestaron su disposición a estudiar despliegues adicionales más allá de los seis países que actualmente participan en el programa. Las discusiones continúan en canales internos de la alianza atlántica y, de acuerdo con personas familiarizadas con el asunto, todavía no existe una decisión definitiva ni un acuerdo inminente para modificar los actuales arreglos de seguridad.
La iniciativa permitiría que más países albergaran los llamados aviones de doble capacidad, conocidos por sus siglas en inglés como DCA, plataformas capaces de transportar y lanzar armamento nuclear estadounidense bajo determinadas circunstancias. De acuerdo con las fuentes consultadas, el objetivo principal de las conversaciones es demostrar que el compromiso nuclear de Washington con Europa permanece intacto, incluso cuando los aliados asumen una mayor responsabilidad en materia de defensa convencional.
Las conversaciones se desarrollan en un contexto marcado por la inquietud de varios gobiernos europeos ante las decisiones del presidente Donald Trump de retirar tropas estadounidenses y cancelar algunos despliegues previstos de sistemas de armas considerados esenciales para la defensa del continente. Estas medidas forman parte de una estrategia orientada a redistribuir recursos militares hacia Asia y otras regiones consideradas prioritarias por Washington.
Diversos aliados de la OTAN temen que la reducción de la presencia convencional estadounidense genere vulnerabilidades en la capacidad defensiva europea y debilite el poder de disuasión frente a potenciales amenazas externas. Sin embargo, las fuentes señalaron que la disposición a debatir una ampliación del programa nuclear pretende transmitir una señal de continuidad respecto de las garantías estratégicas de Estados Unidos.
Entre los países que han mostrado interés figuran varios miembros situados en el flanco oriental de la OTAN, especialmente Polonia y algunos Estados bálticos. Estas naciones consideran que la proximidad geográfica con Rusia incrementa la necesidad de reforzar los mecanismos de disuasión de la alianza.
Polonia ha sido uno de los países más activos en este debate. El ex presidente Andrzej Duda expresó públicamente su deseo de que Estados Unidos extendiera a territorio polaco el sistema de despliegue nuclear compartido. Además, Varsovia se incorporó este año a una iniciativa impulsada por Francia para analizar la posibilidad de trasladar temporalmente componentes de su arsenal nuclear a países aliados europeos.
Según una de las personas familiarizadas con las conversaciones citadas por el Financial Times, los aliados más cercanos a las fronteras rusas son los que han demostrado un mayor interés en participar en el programa. La invasión rusa de Ucrania y las reiteradas referencias del presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, al arsenal nuclear de su país reforzaron las preocupaciones de seguridad de varios miembros de la alianza.
Actualmente, el programa de reparto nuclear de la OTAN involucra a Bélgica, Alemania, Italia, los Países Bajos, Turquía y el Reino Unido. En esos países se almacenan armas nucleares estadounidenses bajo custodia de tropas de Estados Unidos. Aunque permanecen desplegadas en territorio aliado, Washington conserva el control exclusivo sobre cualquier autorización para su utilización.
El mecanismo fue desarrollado durante la Guerra Fría y continúa siendo uno de los pilares de la estrategia de disuasión de la OTAN. Según la propia alianza, el acuerdo “proporciona una plataforma a los aliados no nucleares de la OTAN para dar forma a la política y la planificación nuclear de la Alianza como medio para garantizar su seguridad sin adquirir armas nucleares”.
Dentro de este esquema, fuerzas aéreas de países aliados reciben entrenamiento para operar aeronaves compatibles con misiones nucleares, entre ellas los F-35, F-15 y Tornado. Estas unidades participan regularmente en ejercicios destinados a demostrar la capacidad operativa y la preparación de la alianza.
Mientras los gobiernos europeos incrementan sus presupuestos de defensa y aceleran inversiones en capacidades militares convencionales, numerosos aliados consideran que el paraguas nuclear estadounidense continúa siendo un elemento esencial para la seguridad colectiva.
El secretario general de la OTAN, Mark Rutte, subrayó esa postura tras una reunión de ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de la alianza celebrada el mes pasado. Rutte afirmó que existe un «entendimiento común de que, si bien Estados Unidos se centrará más en otros escenarios… la disuasión y la defensa generales en Europa deben mantenerse sin cambios“.
El dirigente también envió una advertencia sobre la capacidad de respuesta de la organización ante cualquier agresión. «Quiero ser muy claro… Si alguien tuviera la insensatez de atacarnos, la respuesta sería devastadora“, sostuvo.

Tras los bombardeos rusos, Volodimir Zelensky afirmó que Europa “necesita su propia defensa antibalística” para terminar la guerra
El presidente de Ucrania, Volodimir Zelensky, pidió este martes a Europa desarrollar sistemas propios de defensa antibalística y solicitó a Estados Unidos continuar con el suministro de misiles para los sistemas Patriot. Su reclamo surgió tras una ofensiva rusa con drones y misiles contra territorio ucraniano.
En un mensaje difundido en redes sociales tras los ataques, Zelensky advirtió que la ofensiva confirma la intención de Rusia de mantener este tipo de operaciones mientras Ucrania no cuente con protección suficiente ante misiles balísticos. “Un ataque a gran escala y una declaración absolutamente clara de Rusia: si Ucrania no está protegida contra ataques con misiles balísticos y otros, estos ataques continuarán”, afirmó.
El mandatario también subrayó la necesidad de que Europa avance en el desarrollo de capacidades propias de defensa aérea. “Europa necesita su propia defensa antibalística para que esta guerra pueda finalmente llegar a su fin”, indicó.
Además, remarcó la importancia de mantener la asistencia estadounidense para los sistemas Patriot. “La asistencia de Estados Unidos en el suministro de misiles para los sistemas Patriot es absolutamente necesaria. Contamos con el apoyo de nuestros socios y con respuestas efectivas al ataque de hoy”, sostuvo.
Según las autoridades ucranianas, Rusia lanzó durante la noche 656 drones y 73 misiles. Los principales objetivos fueron Kiev, Dnipró, Poltava, Kharkiv y Zaporizhzhia. La ofensiva causó víctimas mortales, daños en edificios residenciales e incendios, especialmente en la capital, donde se reportaron operaciones de rescate para localizar personas atrapadas bajo los escombros. Otras regiones también registraron fallecidos, heridos y destrucción de viviendas.
En paralelo a las declaraciones de Zelensky, el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de Ucrania, Andriy Sybiga, señaló que la magnitud de la ofensiva demuestra que Moscú carece de alternativas militares para modificar el curso de la guerra y recurre a ataques masivos contra ciudades ucranianas.
“La única razón del ataque nocturno horroroso de Rusia contra Ucrania con 656 drones y 73 misiles, que mató al menos a 12 personas, incluidos niños, e hirió a cientos de civiles, es que Putin es un criminal de guerra y perdedor que no tiene cartas que jugar excepto el terror”, expresó Sybiga en redes sociales.
El canciller sostuvo que los bombardeos no alterarán la situación militar sobre el terreno y aseguró que Rusia enfrenta dificultades en el frente. “Moscú está perdiendo en el campo de batalla. Ningún número de misiles puede cambiar esto”, afirmó.
La Fuerza Aérea ucraniana comunicó que las defensas antiaéreas destruyeron o neutralizaron 40 misiles y 602 drones durante la ofensiva. Sin embargo, varios proyectiles alcanzaron zonas urbanas y objetivos civiles en distintas regiones.
Sybiga pidió a los aliados de Ucrania adoptar medidas concretas para fortalecer la defensa aérea del país. “Exhorto a los socios a actuar, no solo a condenar. Hay pasos concretos que se pueden tomar”, señaló. Entre las iniciativas planteadas, reclamó el uso de recursos del Fondo Europeo de Paz para financiar la compra de sistemas y misiles Patriot adicionales, así como avanzar en la coalición antibalística y aumentar la inversión en capacidades de largo alcance para Ucrania.
El canciller también solicitó intensificar la presión sobre Rusia a través de nuevas sanciones, prohibiciones de viaje para combatientes, el uso pleno de activos congelados y medidas de aislamiento. Además, reclamó avances en el proceso de integración de Ucrania a la Unión Europea mediante la apertura de nuevos capítulos de negociación.
Sybiga vinculó cualquier avance diplomático a un aumento de la presión internacional sobre Moscú. “Los terroristas en Moscú deben darse cuenta de que sus ataques brutales no los llevarán a ninguna parte. Que el precio por su régimen solo aumentará. Que la única salida para Putin es poner fin inmediatamente a esta guerra”, afirmó. Insistió en que los esfuerzos orientados a una solución negociada requieren acciones concretas contra Rusia. “Los esfuerzos de paz solo tendrán éxito cuando estén respaldados por una presión real sobre Moscú”, concluyó.
