Could Pratt Actually Prevail?
The far left has enjoyed one-party rule in the City of Angels for decades, but now there’s a slight wrinkle in their plans as Los Angeles might finally get its first non-left mayor in years this Tuesday.
Spencer Pratt, the nominally conservative former reality TV star turned political activist, is currently trailing by less than five points behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and is even closer to current City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, according to recent polling by UC Berkeley/The Los Angeles Times.
Why? Twofold: Two far-left candidates may split the vote, and Pratt, for all the grief the Left bestows upon him, is not really identifiable as a MAGA Republican—the thing Los Angeles voters hate most—argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.
