Overview
- CBS News, which posted the full 28‑minute Spencer Pratt interview Saturday, did so after he accused the network of airing a short, slanted segment from footage shot at his burned Palisades lot.
- City ethics filings show a labor‑backed committee reported $221,000 in digital ads opposing Pratt, signaling organized pushback as his online profile grows.
- The League of Women Voters and the Pat Brown Institute said Mayor Karen Bass withdrew from a Fox 11 forum, with her campaign citing duties in Sacramento; Pratt had earlier declined because of a scheduling conflict.
- Pratt’s rise followed the May 6 debate and viral ads that contrast his trailer‑home setup after the 2025 fire with opponents’ residences, while he presses crime, homelessness, and accountability as core themes.
- Polling cited across coverage still places Bass in front and Pratt in second in some surveys, with about 40% of voters undecided ahead of Los Angeles’s June 2 nonpartisan top‑two primary.
