在一次独家采访中，从真人秀明星转型为洛杉矶市长候选人的斯宾塞·普拉特，将自己缺乏政治经验的情况与前总统巴拉克·奥巴马首次进入全国视野时的状态进行了对比。
当被问及是否具备领导美国第二大城市的能力时，这位共和党候选人告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者亚当·山口：“我说，看看奥巴马吧。他当时只是一名社区组织者。我还拿过两个社区倡导者奖项……当时没人会想‘奥巴马怎么能成为参议员，之后又当上总统？’他完全没有治理整个国家的经验，这可比洛杉矶大多了。”
普拉特是南加州本地人，因在2000年代中期热门真人秀《好莱坞女孩》（The Hills）中饰演类似反派的角色而为人熟知。他曾表示，去年洛杉矶发生毁灭性山火，自家房屋被毁后，他才决定启动这场看似不可能的市长竞选。现任洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯曾于周三与普拉特进行辩论，她因应对山火的举措遭到了大量批评。
本次市长选举将于6月2日举行。如果没有候选人获得多数选票，得票率前两位的候选人将进入11月3日的决选。
尽管洛杉矶自2001年以来从未选出过共和党市长，普拉特仍对下月的选举结果充满信心。
“我在洛杉矶的所有支持者都是民主党人。我认识的所有人，包括我的家人，也都是民主党人，”普拉特说道。
“我相信自己很可能在6月2日以51%的得票率获胜，因为我不会传递政治信息，”他补充道。“我不谈论全国政治，不搞派系政治，也不提其他州的事情。我只关注本地事务。我只想修缮我们的街道，让路灯正常亮起，让民众有安全感。”
请于5月8日周五，在哥伦比亚广播公司电视网以及派拉蒙+（Paramount+）的《CBS早间新闻》栏目中，收看亚当·山口对斯宾塞·普拉特的采访。

Spencer Pratt compares his fledgling political career to Obama’s national rise: “He had no experience running the whole entire country”
May 7, 2026 / 7:35 PM EDT / CBS News
In an exclusive interview, reality television star turned Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt compared his lack of political experience to where former President Barack Obama was when he first came on the national scene.
“I mean, look at Obama,” the Republican told CBS News correspondent Adam Yamaguchi when asked if he has what it takes to lead the second-largest city in the nation. “He was a community organizer. I’ve won two community advocate awards…Nobody thought, ‘Why can Obama become a senator and then the president?’ He had no experience running the whole entire country, which is way bigger than L.A.”
Pratt, a Southern California native known for playing a sort of villain role on the popular mid-2000s reality show “The Hills,” has said he was compelled to launch his unlikely mayoral run after his home was destroyed in last year’s devastating L.A. wildfires. Incumbent L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who faced off against Pratt in a debate Wednesday, has taken significant criticism for her response to the fires.
The mayor’s race will take place on June 2. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote, then the two leading candidates will advance to a Nov. 3 runoff.
Pratt, despite running in a city that has not elected a Republican mayor since 2001, is confident in his chances next month.
“All my supporters in Los Angeles are Democrats. Everyone I know, my family, are all Democrats,” Pratt claims.
“I’m confident I’m probably going to win with 51% on June 2 because I don’t do a political message,” he added. “I don’t do national politics. I don’t do tribal politics. I don’t talk about other states. I’m localized. I just want to fix our streets, get the lights on. I want people to feel safe.”
Watch Adam Yamaguchi’s interview with Spencer Pratt on “CBS Mornings” on CBS and Paramount+ on Friday, May 8.
