Trump blasts ‘crooked’ California elections as Spencer Pratt falls into 3rd place in LA primary
President Trump took to social media to express his frustration with the California primaries, labeling them as “crooked” and threatening consequences if Republicans are locked out in November’s general election. He specifically called out the slow vote count and the impact it’s having on Republican candidates like Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton.
Pratt, who was initially in second place in the Los Angeles mayoralty primary, has been pushed into third place behind far-left Democrat Nithya Raman. The results have been shifting since election night, with Raman gaining more votes with each update. Incumbent mayor Karen Bass has already secured her spot in November’s run-off.
On the gubernatorial side, Steve Hilton has expressed frustration with the sluggish vote counting process in California. He criticized the state government’s handling of the elections and specifically called out Xavier Becerra for his “bumbling” leadership. Despite the delays, Hilton remains confident in his chances of finishing in the top two spots.
The slow vote count in California has been a point of contention for both Pratt and Hilton, with Pratt even referencing the high number of homeless individuals in LA in response to the significant swing in votes. Hilton’s concern over the state’s ability to count votes in a timely manner has led to questions about the competence of the government officials overseeing the process.
As the races in California continue to unfold, both Pratt and Hilton are closely monitoring the results and hoping to secure their spots in the upcoming run-off elections. The uncertainty surrounding the primaries has sparked tension and frustration among Republican candidates and supporters alike. The final results are expected to be certified by early July, determining the fate of the candidates vying for key positions in California’s political landscape.
