Spencer Pratt Discusses Los Angeles Mayoral Campaign on CNBC
Spencer Pratt, a former cast member of MTV's 'The Hills,' is running for mayor of Los Angeles. In a recent interview on CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street,' Pratt discussed his campaign, which focuses on local issues such as government competency, public safety, and homelessness. He criticized incumbent Mayor Karen Bass for her handling of these issues, particularly in relation to the Pacific Palisades Fire and the city's homelessness crisis. Pratt's campaign has gained traction, with a recent poll showing an eight-point surge in his popularity since March. He has garnered support from prominent business figures in Los Angeles, including Dan Loeb and Jeanie Buss, due to his focus on enforcing laws and improving safety, which he argues will attract business investment back to the city.
