Spencer Pratt, a former candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, posted a photo of his son in the Oval Office following a meeting with President Donald Trump on July 7, 2026. In his post on X, Pratt expressed the importance of loving one's country unconditionally, comparing it to parental love. He stated, "You must love your country the way you love your child. Unconditional love... you would die to protect them."
Pratt recently did not advance to the November runoff in the Los Angeles mayoral election, losing to Councilwoman Nithya Raman. Following the election, Trump claimed that the race was influenced by foul play, referring to it as "rigged" in a post on Truth Social. Pratt has also raised questions about the vote-counting process in California, which can take several days due to the use of mail-in ballots. He reiterated his commitment to his community in another post on X, stating, "I will never stop fighting for my community."
