Donald Trump is fuming after late mail-in counts erased Spencer Pratt's early lead in the Los Angeles mayoral primary, and his Truth Social posts have turned the race into a national talking point. Read on to discover the full story!

Trump's Social Media Outburst

On June 8 Trump posted that it was "not possible" Pratt could lose his lead, called California a "3rd World Nation" and declared "Rigged Elections!" He also warned days earlier that late mail-in ballots could change outcomes, and complained results might not be known for "possibly, TWO WEEKS," signing off "President DJT."

The LA Shake-Up

Spencer Pratt's seven-point edge vanished after nearly a week of mail-in ballot counting, allowing City Councilwoman Nithya Raman to overtake him and emerge as the likely November opponent to Mayor Karen Bass. Raman had appeared far behind on primary night and even seemed to concede before the shift.
