Pratt is running against Mayor Karen Bass and LA City Councilwoman Nithya Raman to become the next mayor.
Pratt’s campaign for mayor has grown immensely over the past few weeks. He 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.”
