Pratt feels that his first mayoral debate went strongly in his favor. He feels confident in securing 51% of the vote in June.
"Everyone I know - my family - are all Democrats. I grew up in LA. I went to Crossroads. Everybody that texted me last night, amazing, congratulations — are all Democrats," he told CBS' Adam Yamaguchi.
While registered as a Republican, Pratt says that he is trying to unite all of Los Angeles to address common issues. The reality star says that he wants people to feel safe in the city.
Reality Star Runs For Mayor
"I don't do national politics — I don't do tribal politics — I don't talk about other states. I'm localized. I just want to fix our streets. Fet the lights on. I want people to feel safe," Pratt said. "I want to get our tax money to not be robbed by these, these literal criminal NGOs stealing from our tax to increase the homelessness."
However, the reality star confessed that some people don't stand with him and his politics.
"It's just the socialists and the communists that don't back me. But no, I'm confident I'm probably going to win with 51% on June 2nd because I don't do a political message," he told the outlet.
But a recent poll shows 89% favored the reality star for mayor. The situation is reminiscent of Donald Trump in 2016. Strategists suggest that Pratt has a strong chance of actually winning the election.
"Spencer Pratt made me laugh, not because he made any jokes but because he had answers that resonated with Angelenos," tweeted Michael Trujillo, a former senior adviser to Hillary Clinton. "The dude is a vibe check for the entire city."
Pratt thinks that he can unite the voter base to vote for him.
"So I have Democrats love me, Republicans love me, Independents love me, Libertarians love me, Constitutionalists love me," he told the outlet.
Only time will tell, however. So tune in!
