Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has made it clear he is not seeking high-profile endorsements — even from President Donald Trump.

Amid a surge in polls across the city, Pratt’s message focused on local concerns has been gaining traction far beyond Los Angeles.

President Trump recently praised Pratt, calling him a “big MAGA person” and stating, “I’d like to see him do well. He’s a character.”

Pratt, known for his role on MTV’s “The Hills,” has pushed back against efforts to frame the race through national politics. During an interview, he stated: “This, this right here, what you’re doing, you having this conversation is what’s destroyed local elections.”

“I don’t need anyone’s endorsement but mothers. That’s who’s getting me elected,” Pratt said. “My race is a local race. I don’t care what’s going on in the national politics, in other states. I am running for a local position.”

Pratt also emphasized that Los Angeles voters want to feel safe and not be exposed to what he described as “human poop.”
