"With the primary election less than three weeks away, the gubernatorial and mayoral races have taken a fiery turn as candidates undergo last-ditch efforts to convince voters of their governance chops."
"Now, the latest polls indicate that Xavier Becerra, the former US secretary of health and human services, is in the lead, followed by Steve Hilton, a Trump-backed conservative media pundit, and billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer."
"Pratt has leaned into the firebrand persona he first cemented as a villain on The Hills in the mid-2000s. He's cast himself as the anti-establishment antidote to the problems ailing the city, repeatedly characterizing Los Angeles as lawless and broken, and rebuking Bass's efforts to improve homelessness and wildfire recovery."
"In a Tuesday post on X, he accused Bass of paying street ops to keep addicts high so her NGO friends can continue to profit off their misery and steal their Medicare $$. He did not provide evidence of the allegations."
Election season is intensifying in California’s major primaries with less than three weeks until voting. The gubernatorial race remains crowded after Eric Swalwell’s campaign collapsed amid sexual assault allegations he denied. Polls show Xavier Becerra leading, followed by Steve Hilton and Tom Steyer, with additional contenders including Chad Bianco, Katie Porter, and Matt Mahan. In Los Angeles, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass leads in polls, while challenger Spencer Pratt has gained momentum. Pratt frames himself as an anti-establishment alternative, portraying Los Angeles as lawless and criticizing Bass’s homelessness and wildfire recovery efforts. He has posted allegations on X and made personal claims in campaign videos without providing evidence.
