Reality TV star Spencer Pratt is officially out of the Los Angeles mayoral race as his Democratic challengers secure their spots in the November runoff.<\/p>\n

Pratt launched his ambitious campaign on the one-year anniversary of the devastating Palisades fire in January, ultimately securing roughly 26% of the vote, according to NBC News. Democratic incumbent Karen Bass secured her spot in the runoff on primary election night, coming in at 34.3%, and progressive councilwoman Nithya Raman surged in the 11th hour to second place with 28.5%.

While it\u2019s typical for California to take days, and sometimes weeks, to finalize election results due to the prevalence of mail-in ballots, Raman\u2019s sudden surge raised questions for many onlookers, including President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re dropping fast because it\u2019s a rigged election\u2026\u201d Trump said of Republicans\u2019 performance in the recent California elections. \u201cThey\u2019re cheating on the election. All I have to do is look.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think it\u2019s appropriate that they have an election and five days later they\u2019re nowhere close to picking a winner?\u201d Trump added, in an interview with NBC\u2019s Kristen Welker. \u201cThey\u2019re crooked, just like you\u2019re crooked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pratt enjoyed a roughly eight-point lead over Raman on election night, so much so that the councilwoman delivered a teary-eyed quasi-concession speech just hours after the polls closed. Nearly a week later, Raman enjoyed over a six-point surge while Pratt fell behind by several points. Notably, Bass\u2019 vote share barely shifted as the mail-in ballots were being counted.

Pratt himself joked about the narrow margins and the abrupt electoral shift over the weekend, hinting at a recent case of election fraud.<\/p>\n

\u201c43,000, huh?\u201d Pratt asked, referring to the swing in favor of Raman. \u201cWhere have I seen that number before\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pratt\u2019s post displayed a screenshot noting that roughly 43,700 people \u201cexperienced homelessness\u201d on any given night in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably nothing,\u201d Pratt added.<\/p>\n

The scenario Pratt outlined is not totally unheard of in California. Just weeks earlier, a California woman named Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong agreed to a plea deal after she was charged with paying people to register to vote. This included homeless people she encountered on Skid Row, according to the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n
