Spencer Pratt, a candidate for Los Angeles mayor, plays down the significance of any potential endorsement from President Donald Trump. In comments reported by NBC News and Global News (Canada), Pratt says he does not need Trump’s backing and frames the election as a local matter rather than a national political contest. He tells NBC News that he “doesn’t need anyone’s endorsement but mothers,” adding that local voters—not national figures—are the focus of his campaign. Global News similarly reports that Pratt says he does not care about developments in national politics or in other states, emphasizing that he is running for a local office. The reporting also notes that Pratt’s statements come ahead of Los Angeles’ June 2 election. Across the outlets, Pratt’s position is consistent: he acknowledges the possible attention from Trump but insists it has no bearing on his campaign’s priorities or how he plans to appeal to voters.
