Spencer Pratt has been campaigning for months to unseat incumbent Karen Bass for Los Angeles mayor.
The election day took place on Tuesday (June 2), and the early results are in, revealing where Spencer, Karen and councilwoman Nithya Raman all stand in the mayoral race.
At the time of this post, only nearly 50% of votes have been counted, with Karen in the lead and Spencer trailing close behind.
Deadline reports that Karen is at 37% of the votes, while Spencer has 30%. Nithya trails in third with 20.5% of votes.
A candidate will need at least 50% of the vote from Tuesday’s election to win the mayoral seat, and if they don’t reach that threshold, the top two will go up against each other in November’s general election.
Back in 2022, Rick Caruso led Karen Bass on election night, but after a week of counting votes, Bass came out on top.
During an election night event in Koreatown, Karen addressed supporters, touting her outcome is “looking good so far.”
“Tomorrow begins the second half of this journey,” she said. “We can have the city we know we all deserves.”
Spencer has not yet spoken out publicly about the election.
The California Governor’s race is currently being voted upon, with Democrat Xavier Becerra and Trump-backed Steve Hilton leading neck and neck at 27%.
