It's Wednesday, June 3, 2026 from Peach Fish Productions. It's the gist. I'm Mike Peska.

A lot of elections last night. One I'm paying attention to, where the result is a bit in doubt,

is the L.A. mayor. We know that Karen Bass has made it through to the next round. She is the current

L.A. mayor. So perhaps she will be the next L.A. mayor. That usually happens. Fox News

reports Spencer Pratt appears on track to advance to a November runoff against L.A. Mayor,

Karen Bass, after no candidate cleared 50%. I wonder about this appears on track. You might say it as

is the most likely other candidate to make it through.

There's only a third choice, and it's Nithia Raymond.

And right now, Nithia Raymond is trailing Spencer Pratt by eight percentage points in the polls.

Pratt has 30% of the vote, and Raymond has 22.

So the reason why we're saying that he appears on track is not just that there's this 8% gap

and anything can happen, but that L.A., California, allows for a lot of mail-in ballots.

And there is some thought.

In fact, pretty good thought that mail-in ballots tend to break against Republicans.

Now, it's a primary where they don't declare their

allegiances, but everyone knows that Spencer Pratt, apart from being a reality show villain and a

crystal salesman and someone whose house burnt down in the LA fires and a guy who is articulating

a lot of the anger and angst of Angelinos over issues like homelessness. Aside from all of that, he's the conservative.

He's actually very magalike.

And so maybe conservatives nationwide don't trust the mail because Donald Trump

denigrated mail-in ballots.

And so maybe that will show up as well with Spencer Pratt.
