Pratt Says He’ll Leave L.A. if He Loses, Then Walks It Back as Primary Nears

The episode spotlights residency questions, with polls placing him second before the June 2 primary.

Overview

  • Pratt, who told The Adam Carolla Show on Sunday that he would leave Los Angeles if Karen Bass is re‑elected or Nithya Raman wins, also said he would rebuild only if elected using expected lawsuit money.
  • After coverage of those remarks, Pratt posted Monday that he is not leaving, writing on X, “Obviously I’m not leaving LA…I’m about to be Mayor.”
  • Reports that he has been staying at the Hotel Bel‑Air clashed with an ad showing an Airstream on his burned lot, and he has since said the trailer and hotel are temporary arrangements and cited safety concerns for not staying on site.
  • His media‑first push continued Monday with a Fresh Prince of Bel‑Air spoof shot at the Hotel Bel‑Air, and Deadline reported he is filming material for a reality‑style project about the campaign.
  • Los Angeles uses a nonpartisan top‑two primary on June 2, and recent polling shows Bass at 30%, Pratt at 22% and Raman at 19%.
