Overview
- On Monday May 25, Drew Carey posted an expletive‑filled message on Threads calling Spencer Pratt a “serial scammer” and urging voters not to back him, a rebuke carried by multiple outlets.
- Pratt has converted viral attention into real political traction, rising into the low‑ to mid‑20s in some polls and reporting a surge in fundraising in April and May.
- Pratt pushed back on social media by accusing Carey and other comedians of appearing in the so‑called 'Epstein files' and sharing what he described as evidence on his X account.
- Reporters and rivals have raised factual questions about Pratt's residency, his living arrangements between an Airstream on a burned lot and stays at Hotel Bel‑Air, and whether a reality‑show deal exists despite his reps calling any contract a non‑starter.
- The unfolding celebrity feuds, endorsements from figures like Joe Rogan and President Trump, and persistent eligibility and credibility probes could shift turnout and decide which two candidates advance from the June 2 top‑two primary.
