Trump slams ‘CROOKED’ California elections after Spencer Pratt falls behind to woke socialist in race for mayor

In the Los Angeles mayoral primaries, Spencer Pratt fell to third place and socialist Nithya Raman rose to second place, while Donald Trump called the California election system ‘WHEELED’.

The Hills star had seen her lead with Raman diminish over the weekend as she sought to face incumbent Karen Bass in the November runoff election. Trump has repeatedly claimed election fraud.

“Is anyone watching the CROWDED Election going on in California?” the President asked on Truth Social Sunday night. he wrote.

‘The two major Republican Candidates are being deceived and so is America; If the Dumocrats can fulfill their duty, great problems and confusion will follow. Watch this “Election” closely!!!’

Trump was referring to Pratt and gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton, who came in a distant second in the primary.

With the ballots dropping Sunday night. CaliforniaRaman placed second, leaving Pratt behind by 3,000 votes.

Pratt expressed frustration with the lengthy vote-counting process in a social media post early Sunday.

“Remember everyone…we are still ahead and have until July 6th to keep counting,” he wrote, captioning a photo of Raman crying on election night.

‘They’re not the only ones who know where to find votes.’

He then suggested that the number of votes added to Raman’s tally since Tuesday matched the number of homeless people in Los Angeles.

‘”There has been a clear change of over 43,000 votes since Tuesday..” 43,000, huh?’ Pratt thought.

‘Where have I seen this trick before? “Probably nothing,” he wrote, quoting an article that said 43,699 people were homeless in Los Angeles.

After 83 percent of the votes were counted, Bass maintained his lead between the two rivals with 34.7 percent.

Raman ranks second with 27.1 percent of the votes, while Pratt ranks third with 26.7 percent of the votes.

Bass has made it clear that he has already turned his attention to his possible new rival, the socialist Raman.

“We look forward to winning the contest against an opponent who allows camping near schools and is fighting against hiring more police, but MIA is committed to saving jobs in Hollywood and fighting when ICE invades Los Angeles,” a campaign spokesperson for Bass said.

As Trump claimed fraud because two races had not yet been called, the Justice Department sent one of its lawyers to the city to observe the vote-counting process.

Since Election Day, Trump has claimed that Democrats are cheating as the counting continues.

‘Everyone pay attention to California!’ the president posted on Truth Social on Thursday night. ‘Our election process is as bad as any Third World Country, if not worse. The biggest difference is that they count their votes much faster. ‘They don’t wait seven days to say who won, they rig the Election every election.’

‘Americans are ashamed of what is happening!’ Trump added.

Trump brought up the long waits again during his visit to Wisconsin on Friday, delivering a speech billed mainly as a message to the state’s farmers.

‘Can you imagine, it’s been four days and they still haven’t even come close to telling you who won. Do you know why? Because they’re rigging the election, that’s why,” the President said.

The president used California to force Republican lawmakers to pass the Save America Act, a voting bill that would restrict the use of mail-in ballots and expand voter identification.

Although Republicans held majorities in both chambers, the Save America Act remained stalled in the U.S. Senate due to widespread Democratic opposition and moderate opposition from the GOP.

For the second day in a row, Raman added more votes to his tally than both Bass and Pratt.

After 83 percent of the votes were counted, Bass maintained his lead between the two rivals with 34.7 percent.

“We are encouraged by the final vote count and grateful to the thousands of Angelenos who supported this campaign,” Raman told The Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Pratt for comment.

Pratt’s campaign sparked by $3M home burning in 2025 Hedge FireHe harnessed residents’ anger at the city’s response to the inferno to create his own political platform.

While Pratt has vowed to combat the city’s growing homeless encampments, he accuses Bass of allowing them to proliferate.

Like Trump, he presented himself as a candidate who would overthrow the bureaucracy and create real change in the city.

He has promised to streamline the chain of command for emergencies such as fires and reduce inefficiencies in the permitting process to allow victims to rebuild faster.

Pratt also promised to hire more LAPD officers and use a treatment-first approach to homelessness.

California has been seen as a Democratic stronghold in recent years, but that wasn’t always the case.

The state has had more Republican governors than Democrats over the past 60 years; the most recent of these was Austrian-American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who held the post from 2003 to 2011.

Pratt’s messages have become increasingly desperate after preaching calm just two days ago.

Former Hills star “Patience” posted to X on Friday afternoon along with several photos of herself outside Los Angeles City Hall.

The grueling process of counting all mail-in ballots in California has left the fates of Republicans Pratt and Steve Hilton uncertain.

“My office is currently on the ground, monitoring the situation closely and prepared to protect voters and ensure compliance with California’s election laws,” Bonta told X, sharing a story about the feds being on the scene.

Bass will advance to a runoff in November, but it remains unclear whether she will face Pratt or progressive city council member Nithya Raman as numerous votes remain pending.

The race is still expected to be exciting for Hilton, given California’s large Democratic population and more left-leaning voters turning out and voting by mail later in the election process.

Raman burst into tears when initial results showed he had fallen to a distant third place in the race

Mail-in ballots can be counted as long as they are dropped off by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Additionally, California has a history of taking days to count all those ballots.

The press office of California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is term-limited and therefore cannot run for re-election, mused on Thursday X: ‘Why do Republicans hate California counting every vote?’

Hilton lamented the slow pace of counting and described the process as a ‘global mockery’, stating that India could count 600 million votes in one day.

“We are as confident as ever that we will be in the top two,” X said in his post on Thursday night.

Pratt reacted to the wait by posting ‘God always wins’ on Thursday afternoon.

Reality TV star wife Heidi Montag wrote: ‘Never give up, never surrender!’ As of Friday morning, however, it was unclear whether he was referring to the Los Angeles mayoral election.

Montag did not publicly support her husband’s campaign on social media, instead writing cryptic posts and promoting her new music.

The day before, he had just shared a post saying ‘Croissants are magic’.
