Spencer Pratt Takes Trump Meeting After L.A. Mayoral Loss

So Spencer Pratt didn’t win his bid to become Los Angeles mayor, but that doesn’t mean he’s stepping away from the political arena. Just days after finishing third in the primary election last month, the former reality TV star found himself inside the Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump—a moment he documented on Instagram on Tuesday, July 7.

Pratt, 44, posted a photo showing him with Trump and Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, though the specifics of their conversation remain under wraps. His caption made his intentions crystal clear:“I will never stop fighting for my community.”The timing is notable, coming on the heels of Trump’s own public support for Pratt’s mayoral campaign. Back in June, Trump told reporters,“I’d like to see him do well. He’s a character. I assume he probably supports me. I heard he’s a big MAGA person.”Trump even doubled down after the primary loss, telling the Faith&Freedom Coalition that Pratt“shouldn’t go away quietly.”

Hours before the White House photo made its rounds, Pratt announced the launch of The WAR Foundation, a new organization aimed at combating what he views as weak leadership and cultural decay. According to a post on X, the foundation plans to deploy“hard-hitting media, investigative research, educational campaigns and strategic partnerships in government and media to push back on the communist rot, shine a light on government failure, challenge entrenched interests and empower citizens with the truth.”He vowed the effort would be“bold, unapologetic and fearless.”

The path to this moment is rooted in tragedy. Pratt lost his family home in the devastating Pacific Palisades fire earlier this year, an event that sparked his decision to run for mayor. He fell short of the runoff by fewer than 30,000 votes, finishing behind candidates who will now face off in November’s general election between incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman.

What’s intriguing here is Pratt’s pivot from candidate to activist. Whether his foundation becomes a serious political force or remains a vanity project tied to Trump’s orbit remains to be seen. But one thing’s clear: the Hills alum isn’t done making noise in the political sphere just yet.
