Spencer Pratt was effectively dropped from the Los Angeles mayor’s race on June 8, 2026 , when reports said he was eliminated and Nithya Raman advanced to the runoff against Karen Bass.

What happened

  • Coverage on June 8 said Pratt was eliminated from the race.
  • Later updates on June 12 described him as having fallen to third place as vote counts shifted, but the key “dropped out/eliminated” moment in reporting was June 8.

Quick context

The race was still being counted in the days after, which is why some stories on June 12 framed it as a narrowing contest before the result was finalized.
