Steve Hilton says Spencer Pratt's LA mayoral bid signals voter revolt

Steve Hilton said the momentum behind Spencer Pratt's Los Angeles mayoral bid reflects a growing voter revolt against California's one-party Democratic rule.

This alignment of political outsiders suggests a shift in voter sentiment within the state. By linking a reality-TV star's candidacy with a formal political campaign, Hilton is framing these runs as symptoms of a deeper systemic dissatisfaction with the current political establishment in California.

Hilton, a former political commentator, is currently running for governor of California. He connected his own campaign efforts to the 2026 ^[1] mayoral run of Spencer Pratt, a reality-TV star seeking the office of mayor in Los Angeles.

According to Hilton, these campaigns demonstrate that the electorate is searching for alternatives to the Democratic party's dominance in the state. He said the current political climate is one where voters are increasingly eager to embrace candidates who do not come from traditional political backgrounds.

"The momentum behind my campaign and Spencer Pratt's run shows that voters are hungry for political outsiders," Hilton said.

The push for outsiders in the Los Angeles mayoral race is being positioned by Hilton as a direct reaction to the perceived failures of a one-party system. He said that the appetite for non-traditional candidates is not an isolated phenomenon but a broader trend across the state.

Pratt's candidacy in 2026 ^[1] has drawn attention as a high-profile example of this trend. Hilton said that the ability of such candidates to gain traction serves as evidence of a growing appetite for disruption in California politics.
