Pratt, a reality television personality, was not able to pull off his latest venture — an improbable bid to become mayor of Los Angeles.

Political commentator Bill O’Reilly said Monday that the results of the Los Angeles mayoral primary are “suspicious” after city councilmember Nithya Raman (D) knocked out former reality star Spencer Pratt (R) from the race and advanced to a November runoff against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass (D). Spencer Pratt’s campaign in Los Angeles was run about as well as a non-Democratic campaign could be run in a major American city. The fact that he lost is proof that you simply cannot save voters who don’t want to be saved.

Spencer Pratt has not made any public comments since losing his bid for Los Angeles mayor. D-list reality TV personality Spencer Pratt officially lost his bid for mayor of Los Angeles.

The Hill reported the story as "O’Reilly on Los Angeles mayoral race results: ‘Every thinking person knows that it's suspicious’." Daily Kos reported the story as "Trump uses LA mayoral race to practice midterms meddling." Washington Examiner reported the story as "Pratt ran a great campaign, but you can't save voters who don't want to be saved."
