Major Democrat Donors Break Rank, Put Their Money Behind Spencer Pratt

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has received donations from some of Hollywood’s most prominent Democrat supporters despite running on a platform that leans heavily on conservative talking points. It was revealed earlier this month that major Democrat donors Haim and Cheryl Saban, billionaires who have a major financial impact on the party, donated the maximum amount of $1,800 to Pratt.  Nicole Avant, another prominent Democrat supporter and wife of Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, has also pledged to support Pratt for mayor. So has Jeanie Buss, the Lakers’ minority owner and franchise governor, who also made the max donation of $1,800 to Pratt’s campaign. As The New York Times reported, Elliot Grainge, the CEO of Atlantic Records and Sofia Richie’s husband, also made a donation to Pratt’s campaign. So did billionaire financier Dan Loeb and former CEO of Activision Blizzard Bobby Kotick; Jeffrey Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange and chairman of the New York Stock Exchange; and cryptocurrency entrepreneurs Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The former reality star, a registered Republican who said he voted for Trump in 2024, has publicly stated that he doesn’t identify with either party. “All my supporters in Los Angeles are Democrats,” he told CBS. “Everyone I know, my family, are all Democrats.”  The mayoral hopeful told NBC earlier this month, “I do not represent a party. I don’t have a campaign manager. I don’t have campaign consultants. There’s no political party backing me.” The former “Hills” star is polling second behind Bass ahead of the June 2 primary. While Pratt’s odds of winning have increased dramatically in recent months, he still faces an uphill battle in the Democrat stronghold. The last time a Republican won a mayoral race in Los Angeles was in 1997. Pratt reportedly raised $2.72 million between April 19 and May 16, per statements obtained by the Los Angeles Times, moving his total to $3.26 million in contributions. Mayor Bass reported only $283,000 during that same period, boosting her total to $3.13 million. As of May 16, Raman hasn’t hit the $1 million mark in contributions.
