Trump Hosts Spencer Pratt At WH After Launching New Media Organization

Although Pratt ultimately failed to advance to the November runoff election, he drew national attention throughout the race.

Late last month, President Trump publicly encouraged Pratt to challenge the election results after he finished third in the primary.

“Spencer Pratt… He shouldn’t go away quietly,” Trump said. “He should protest because it was, in my very strong opinion, that was a rigged election.”

Trump had also expressed support for Pratt before the election.

“I’d like to see him do well — he’s a character,” the president said at the time.

“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.”

When the votes were counted, Pratt finished with 217,977 votes, placing third behind City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who earned 247,781 votes to secure the second runoff spot
