Spencer Pratt shared a photo Tuesday showing him meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office shortly after announcing the launch of his new media organization.
The former reality television star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate was photographed sitting with three others, including what appeared to be his son and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
“I will never stop fighting for my community,” Pratt wrote in the caption of the post on X.
Pratt did not immediately provide additional details about the meeting. The California Post contacted him and the White House for comments.
The upstart candidate on Tuesday also shared details of his new WAR Foundation, which he said would use “hard-hitting media, investigative research, educational campaigns, and strategic partnerships in government and media” to promote its message.
Pratt’s new foundation was officially filed with the California Secretary of Stare on June 24 by his campaign staffers Gabriel Mann and Briana Bilbray.
In a post announcing the launch, Pratt described it as an effort to employ “innovative media” to “advocate for transparency, accountability, and integrity in government and culture.”
“Our biggest weakness today is the lack of courage in leadership and culture; everyone wants common sense, but everyone is too afraid to demand it,” he wrote.
“Above all, we will be bold, unapologetic, and fearless,” Pratt added.
The former “The Hills” star ran an anti-establishment campaign that relied heavily on social media, viral videos and criticism of city leaders over issues including homelessness, public safety and the response to the devastating Palisades fire.
He released a series of viral videos portraying him as a political outsider fighting to “save” Los Angeles, while AI-generated clips created by Pratt’s supporters depicted him as a superhero-like figure battling incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom.
One of his most widely circulated campaign videos, titled “They Not Like Us,” featured Pratt inside an Airstream trailer on his burned Palisades property, where he criticized city officials over the condition of the city and accused leaders of failing residents.
Late last month, after Pratt failed to reach November’s runoff election, Trump urged him to dispute the June primary loss.
“Spencer Pratt…He shouldn’t go away quietly. He should protest because it was, in my very strong opinion, that was a rigged election,” Trump said.
Prior to the primary, the president said he’d like to see Pratt “do well” in the mayoral race.
“I’d like to see him do well — he’s a character,” Trump said. “I don’t know, I don’t know him. I assume he probably supports me. Does he support me?… I heard he does. I heard he’s a big MAGA person. He’s doing well.”
Pratt finished third in the primary, falling short of the runoff by 29,804 votes. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman secured the second-place spot with 247,781 votes, while Pratt received 217,977 votes.
Incumbent Karen Bass finished first and advanced to the runoff.
