The California Post announced its endorsement of Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt on Friday.
The California Post released its endorsement on the front page of its Friday paper and posted the photo on X.
Pratt is facing current city Mayor Karen Bass and city councilwoman Nithya Raman, who are both Democrats.
The front page photo showed Pratt smiling, along with bold text that said, “The Post endorses: Spencer Pratt for mayor — a chance to fix the city.” A large font at the bottom of the page said, “Vote for common Spence.”
Pratt’s campaign for mayor has grown immensely over the past few weeks. He even captured the attention of President Donald Trump, who said, “I’d like to see him do well.”
Turning Point CEO Erika Kirk also commented on Pratt’s campaign, calling him “authentically American.”
Pratt’s artificial intelligence-generated ads blend pop culture, sarcasm, and conditions that people in the city are facing.
In one video, Pratt is portrayed as Batman, protecting the city from the Joker, who is portrayed as Bass.
Bass even commented on the ad, calling it “violent.”
In another AI video, Pratt highlighted a “pratt summer.” He highlighted key problems in the city, then showcased young people at a festival with branding pulled from Charli XCX’s viral brat album.
While not made with AI, Pratt created another video channeling The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, writing his own lyrics to the show’s iconic theme song to embrace criticisms of his living situation.

Pratt has called out Bass over her handling of drug use and homelessness in the city.
The primary election will be held on June 2.
