Karen Bass under threat as Spencer Pratt’s ‘Trumpian quality’ political ads resonate with voters

Manhattan Institute VP and Pollster Jesse Arm claims Los Angeles mayoral independent candidate Spencer Pratt “borrowed the Trumpian quality” of putting humour first during his campaign leading up to the LA primary race. Mr Pratt gained traction online and has made headlines since he kicked off his campaign due to a series of hilarious and creative political ads which appear to have resonated with audiences. “I think that’s the Trumpian quality in Pratt ... he does borrow that Trumpian quality of putting humour first, communicating to audiences on a sort of individual level,” Mr Arm told Sky News Digital Presenter James Bolt. “It’s still very hard for someone who has ever registered as a Republican to win a one-on-one election in a place as deep blue and liberal as Los Angeles, but I think Pratt is really making a splash.”
