Pratt (R) says he doesn't need 'anyone's endorsement' after Trump backs his LA mayor bid [View all]
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has brushed aside a possible endorsement from President Trump, saying national politics has no place in local elections.
“I don’t need anyone’s endorsement but mothers’. That’s who’s getting me elected,” the former reality star told NBC News on Thursday. “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.”
The president spoke favorably about Pratt less than two weeks before the city’s June 2 primary, telling reporters Pratt is a “big MAGA person.”
“I’d like to see him do well. He’s a character,” said Trump.
