Spencer Pratt Fires Back at Hannah Einbinder Over LA Mayoral Campaign

Spencer Pratt has responded to criticism from Hannah Einbinder regarding his campaign to become Los Angeles mayor.

The Hacks actress, 31, made her remarks while attending the 2026 Critics Choice Association's Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television on Friday, May 29. During an interview with Variety, Einbinder discussed her opposition to Pratt's candidacy and urged voters to resist his campaign.

"There's a lot of wealth in this city and I think that there are a lot of people who masquerade as Democrats or people on the left, but really, money is their key issue and that's what lead them to vote for people like Spencer Pratt — who is endorsed by Donald Trump," she said. "It's important to resist that."

Einbinder went on to express her support for fellow candidate Nithya Raman. "It's very complicated. No one is perfect, there are no perfect candidates. I'm overwhelmed in a lot of ways but I have made the choice to put Nithya [Raman] down, and that's what we're doing girls!" she added.

Later that day, Pratt shared the Variety video on X and offered his own take on her comments. "She says from a literal red carpet, surrounded by armed security, completely insulated from the horrors on our streets that Angelenos and their kids have to suffer through every day," he wrote. "I'm glad she doesn't have to suffer the consequences of Karen and Nithya's failures, but she's in an elite minority and the rest of us want change."

The former Hills star is among several candidates vying for the mayoral position, with his main opponents including current mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Raman. While Einbinder counts among his critics, Pratt has also garnered celebrity backing for his bid.
