A reality TV star is polling second in the LA mayor's race the day before the primary, a sign of how fed up voters are with city leadership.

• Spencer Pratt, a reality TV personality, is polling second behind incumbent Karen Bass, with progressive Nithya Raman fading to third.
• Pratt's rise is fueled by frustration over homelessness, the city fires, and a sense that nothing in LA is improving.
• He turned down a Trump endorsement, saying a local race shouldn't be about national politics — just making people feel safe.
• If Bass falls short of a majority tomorrow, the race goes to a November runoff, likely Bass versus Pratt.

Outlook: If no candidate wins outright tomorrow, expect a Bass–Pratt runoff in November that would draw national attention.
