In the primary election, incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass failed to capture the 50 percent majority required to win the seat outright, advancing to a November runoff, where, at press time, it appeared Pratt would beat progressive City Council member Nithya Raman to face Bass in the head-to-head.
Jenner’s comments sparked all sorts of social media commentary, with one quipping that the transgender former athlete “sounds like a man in women’s sports,” a jab at one of MAGA Republicans’ most ubiquitous tropes.
'I Stand Behind Spencer Pratt'
The MTV star will likely compete directly against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
“MAGA hates you, Caitlyn Jenner, why are you kissing Trump’s a--?” wondered another.
Jenner has publicly stated, "I stand behind Spencer Pratt and honestly think he will do an amazing job." She added that she respects his passion and believes "we need people like Spencer Pratt to make the changes" the city needs.

Jenner has tied her defense of Pratt to sharp critiques of current L.A. leadership, declaring that incumbent "Karen Bass cannot be mayor again" due to ongoing issues with city management and urban decay.
Following what seemed to be a likely second-place finish, an energized Pratt told reporters he is eager to build out his leadership team and looks forward to debating Bass frequently over the next five months. He enters the general election as an underdog in heavily Democratic Los Angeles, but his political momentum has drastically reshaped the race.
