Trump signals support for Pratt in L.A. mayoral election: 'I'd like to see him do well' [View all]

President Trump signaled support for Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt Wednesday, wading into the local election less than two weeks before the primary.

The president was at Joint Base Andrews for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Commencement when he responded to a reporter’s question about Pratt’s run for mayor.

“I’d like to see him do well. He’s a character,” Trump said. “I heard he’s a big MAGA person. He’s doing well.”

While Trump didn’t make a formal endorsement, his comments appear to be the first the president has made publicly in support of Pratt in the L.A. mayor’s race. Voters go to the polls in the city’s primary June 2.
