Spencer Pratt has appeared to concede in his race to become the next mayor of Los Angeles.
The 42-year-old reality TV star took on incumbent mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles City Councillor Nithya Raman, and had been hotly tipped to make it through to the general election of the mayoral race this November.
However, following the primary election on June 2, Spencer received 25.8% of the vote, putting him in third place and taking him out of the running.
While US President Donald Trump had called the result of the primary an example of election fraud, Spencer appeared to have accepted the people’s votes in a video he shared on X which seemed to be his concession speech.
In the video, titled Saving LA - Part III, he took aim at his fellow candidates and said he’s advancing to “war” to save his beloved Los Angeles from the “corruption” he claims to have evidence of.
He said: “I didn’t get in this for political power. I got in to expose this corrupt machine and nothing has changed.
“It’s war. It’s zero hour for Los Angeles."
The former star of The Hills - who had initially said he’d leave LA if he didn’t win - went on to call Bass and Raman “dumb and dumber”, adding: “Every problem that plagues Los Angeles because of these two corrupt communists is going to accelerate, and the city will tumble heading into the abyss.
“You have no idea how many major developers, hoteliers, business owners, entrepreneurs have been texting me saying they’re packing up and leaving town. You have no idea how bad things are about to get for this city.”
Spencer continued to insist his “goal hasn’t changed” and even claimed to have incriminating evidence of something that would make Bass or Raman - who he called “commie animals” - “resign in shame”, although didn’t give any further details or even say which candidate it was about.
He said: “Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it.”
Concluding the video, he said: “If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait. I was saving it for the general election.
“If you want to stop me, you’re gonna have to f****** kill me!"
