斯宾塞·普拉特回应纽森对巴斯的背书，称双方为“所谓的犯罪同伙”
凯莉·麦克纳尼探讨洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯颇具争议的无家可归者救助项目，指出有报道称该项目已耗资4.18亿美元，但仅有10%的资金真正帮助民众脱离街头困境。斯宾塞·普拉特批评其中涉嫌腐败，谴责在锡安路（Skid Row）虐待流浪动物的行为，并详述了他以信仰为驱动的使命：让洛杉矶成为母亲和儿童更安全的城市。近期民调显示，普拉特的市长竞选支持率正赶超巴斯。
共和党正试图打破长期以来的失利僵局，朝着赢得州长和洛杉矶市长职位迈出第一步。周二，民主党占绝对主导的加州选民前往投票站投票。
与此同时，唐纳德·特朗普总统在共和党中的影响力将再次接受投票箱的考验：爱荷华州将举行州长竞选对决，而该州的民主党联邦参议员提名战则是两党建制派与进步派之间的最新交锋。
加州和爱荷华州是6月第一周横跨东西海岸举行初选的六个州中的两个，此次选举将影响11月的中期选举。届时，共和党目前微弱的参议院优势和极其狭窄的众议院多数席位都将面临争夺。
这场选举中最受全国关注的无疑是洛杉矶市的竞选。美国第二大城市洛杉矶已有30年未选出共和党籍市长。身为真人秀明星、网络红人转型的市长候选人斯宾塞·普拉特正获得越来越多的支持，这在一定程度上得益于他的民粹主义主张和走红网络的竞选视频。

普拉特作为共和党人在这座左倾城市以无党派身份参选，获得了特朗普的背书。他的崛起还得益于去年洛杉矶毁灭性山火中失去家园的受害者身份——当时洛杉矶县超过1.7万套房屋被毁，以及他针对无家可归问题、犯罪和政府问责的右翼立场，而这座城市长期以来由民主党人执政。
“我一直说，我参选市长是因为母亲们。是母亲们让我当选的。母亲们在洛杉矶感受不到安全。不仅是感觉不安全，她们确实不安全。其实在洛杉矶，除了毒贩和给他们提供针头的人，其他人都不安全。这座城市用我们的纳税人的钱资助那些提供针头的人、贩卖冰毒烟具的人，他们是安全的。洛杉矶的其他人都不安全，”普拉特上周末在福克斯新闻《周六美国与凯莉·麦克纳尼同行》节目采访中如是说。
普拉特将攻击目标对准现任市长凯伦·巴斯——这位前民主党国会众议员正寻求连任第四届四年任期。巴斯获得了前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的背书，哈里斯曾是加州参议员和州检察长，此外加州两名民主党参议员亚当·希夫和亚历克斯·帕迪拉也为其背书。上周，任期将满的州长加文·纽森也宣布支持巴斯。

巴斯正努力应对来自普拉特的右翼挑战以及进步派市议员妮提亚·拉曼的左翼挑战。如果周二的无党派市长选举中没有候选人获得超过50%的选票，得票前两名的候选人将在11月的决选中对决。
在州长竞选方面，共有多达61名候选人参选，以接替纽森掌舵这个美国人口最多、全球第四大经济体的州。
但在这场“丛林初选”中，所有候选人无论党派都将出现在同一张选票上，得票前两名的候选人将进入11月的大选。目前仅有少数几位竞争者有较大把握晋级。
其中包括民主党人哈维尔·贝塞拉、汤姆·斯泰尔以及共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿。
贝塞拉曾长期担任国会议员和加州检察长，之后在前总统拜登政府中担任内阁部长，若当选将成为现代史上首位拉丁裔加州州长。斯泰尔则是亿万富翁对冲基金创始人转型的环保活动家，曾在2020年竞选民主党总统提名但未成功。

希尔顿曾是英国政治战略家，后成为美国保守派评论员、前福克斯新闻频道主持人，获得了特朗普的背书。
此次竞选还有共和党人、河滨县警长查德·比安科。希尔顿和比安科都希望成为自阿诺德·施瓦辛格2006年连任以来首位当选加州州长的共和党人。施瓦辛格上一次共和党州长当选已是20年前。
比安科声称自己是此次竞选中最保守的候选人。
但希尔顿在福克斯新闻《周末大型秀》的采访中重申：“查德的支持率远远落后，他无法进入前两名。所以每一张投给他的票实际上都是在帮助民主党人。我们必须确保这一点，不能让这次变革的机会溜走。”
民主党候选人包括前民主党众议员凯蒂·波特、圣何塞市长马特·马汉、前洛杉矶市长安东尼奥·维拉莱戈萨以及州公共教育总监托尼·瑟蒙德等，都是知名度较高的参选者。

前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯和参议员亚历克斯·帕迪拉曾考虑参选民主党州长候选人，但两人均在去年宣布放弃参选。这导致25年多来加州州长竞选首次没有明确的领跑者。
去年大部分时间里，洛杉矶山火的破坏和特朗普的移民突袭行动占据了加州的新闻头条，州长竞选因此黯然失色。
但今年早些时候，随着主要候选人之一、民主党众议员埃里克·斯沃韦尔在面临多项性侵和行为不端指控（他本人始终否认）后政治形象崩塌，退出竞选并辞去国会职务，州长竞选再次成为焦点。
斯沃韦尔的退出为斯泰尔和随后的贝塞拉在民调中上升铺平了道路。斯泰尔自掏腰包超过2亿美元，在电视和互联网上投放大量广告。
比安科于去年4月启动州长竞选，曾是领先的候选人之一，直到特朗普在4月初背书希尔顿后，他的竞选势头被削弱。
爱荷华州对决
在爱荷华州，共和党州长金·雷诺兹和联邦参议员乔尼·恩斯特的退休，再加上共和党面临的艰难中期选举政治环境，让民主党人乐观地认为，他们可以在这个过去十年转向红色的前摇摆州拿下这些席位。
特朗普在2024年总统选举中以13个百分点的优势拿下爱荷华州，他上周就竞争激烈的共和党州长初选发表了看法。
这位总统背书了众议员兰迪·芬斯特拉，此次初选的其他候选人还包括企业家、私立学校联合创始人扎克·莱恩（获得保守派组织“转折点美国”的背书）、州议员埃迪·安德鲁斯、前州议员布拉德·谢尔曼以及前州行政服务主任亚当·斯蒂恩。

初选获胜者将对阵民主党州审计官罗布·桑德，他在初选中无对手。桑德是目前唯一当选全州公职的民主党人。
过去一个月，共和党初选中处处可见特朗普背书力量的强硬和他对共和党巨大的影响力，他支持的候选人在印第安纳州、路易斯安那州、肯塔基州和德克萨斯州的对决中击败了他 targeted 的现任议员。
爱荷华州共和党众议员阿什利·辛森是赢得该党联邦参议员提名的压倒性领跑者，她将接替即将退休的恩斯特。
辛森曾是电视新闻主播，目前正担任代表爱荷华州第二国会选区的第三届议员，面临着前州参议员、前联邦参议院候选人吉姆·卡林的微弱挑战。辛森获得了特朗普、参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩、全国共和党参议员委员会（参议院共和党竞选机构）的背书。辛森在2020年翻转了爱荷华州东北部的民主党-held席位，被视为党内的后起之秀。

爱荷华州的这个共和党控制的席位是民主党人的首要目标，此次竞选是今年中期选举中约12场关键对决之一，这些对决将决定共和党能否保住目前参议院53-47的多数席位。
辛森将在大选中对阵民主党参议院初选的获胜者，这场初选耗资巨大且竞争激烈，候选人包括州议员、残奥会选手约什·图雷克以及州参议员扎克·瓦尔兹。
瓦尔兹是进步派人士，共和党人将他比作纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼，他获得了自由派领军人物、马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦的背书。图雷克是更为温和的参议院候选人，在2022年翻转了爱荷华州众议院的共和党-held席位，获得了前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格的背书。他还得到了参议院民主党领袖、纽约州参议员查克·舒默以及民主党参议员竞选委员会主席、纽约州参议员柯尔斯滕·吉利布兰德的默许支持。支持建制派的外部组织“退伍军人投票”也为图雷克投入了大量资金。
爱荷华州第一和第三国会选区的初选将为关键的共和党-held席位的大选对决敲定候选人，民主党正试图在此翻转席位。
其他对决
新泽西州第七国会选区的情况类似，这是另一个民主党试图夺回众议院多数席位时关注的摇摆席位。
共和党现任议员汤姆·基恩 Jr.因“个人医疗问题”缺席国会和竞选活动三个月，登上了全国新闻头条。
在新墨西哥州，接替任期将满的民主党州长米歇尔·卢汉·格里沙姆的竞选是头条焦点。
前众议员黛布·哈兰德曾在拜登政府中担任内政部长，成为美国首位担任内阁部长的原住民女性，她有望再次创造历史，成为首位当选州长的原住民女性。她将对阵伯纳利洛县地区检察官萨姆·布雷格曼。另有三名主要共和党人角逐该党州长提名。
蒙大拿州选民将在周二的初选中选出候选人，以接替即将离任的共和党现任参议员史蒂夫·戴恩斯。

戴恩斯和特朗普支持前美国检察官库尔特·阿尔梅，阿尔梅在戴恩斯宣布退休后于3月立即参选，此时距该州的提名 filing 截止日期仅剩不久，这看起来是一场精心策划的行动。阿尔梅面临两名实力较弱的竞争对手争夺提名。
前州议员赖利·尼尔似乎是这个强烈支持共和党州的民主党提名领跑者。
共和党和民主党提名候选人将与前蒙大拿大学校长塞思·博德纳对决，博德纳以无党派身份参选，筹款额超过其他所有候选人。

在共和党占主导的南达科他州，州长拉里·罗登寻求连任完整任期，面临着竞争激烈的 crowded 参选阵营。
罗登于2025年初担任副州长，当时时任州长克里斯蒂·诺姆辞职加入特朗普政府担任国土安全部部长，他因此接任州长职位。

From reality TV to city hall? Trump-backed Spencer Pratt soars in LA mayor race as Californians vote
2026-06-02T04:00:09-04:00 / Fox News
Spencer Pratt responds to Newsom’s Bass endorsement, calls them ‘alleged criminal partners’
Kayleigh McEnany discusses Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s controversial Los Angeles homelessness program, highlighting reports of $418 million spent with only 10% effectively getting people off the streets. Spencer Pratt criticizes the alleged corruption, calls out the abuse of dogs on Skid Row, and details his faith-driven mission to make Los Angeles a safer city for mothers and children. Pratt’s mayoral campaign is surging in recent polls against Bass.
Republicans are aiming to break longtime losing streaks by taking first steps toward winning elections for governor and Los Angeles mayor as voters in Democrat-dominated California head to the polls on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s clout over the GOP will once again face a ballot box test, in a gubernatorial showdown in Iowa, while the Hawkeye State’s Democratic Senate nomination is the latest battle between the establishment and progressive wings of the party.
California and Iowa are two of the six states holding primary contests from coast to coast during the first week of June, in elections that will impact November’s midterms, when the GOP’s slim Senate and razor-thin House majorities will be up for grabs.
The election arguably grabbing the most headlines nationally is in Los Angeles, where it’s been three decades since a Republican won a mayoral contest in the nation’s second most populous city. Spencer Pratt, a reality TV star and online influencer-turned-mayoral candidate, is gaining traction, thanks in part to his populist pitch and viral videos.
THE CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS BOOSTING SPENCER PRATT IN THE LOS ANGELES MAYOR SHOWDOWN

Pratt, a Republican running as an independent in the left-leaning city, is backed by Trump. His rise is also fueled in part by his well-known status as one of the victims who lost their homes in last year’s devastating wildfires, when over 17,000 homes in Los Angeles County were destroyed, as well as his right-leaning focus on homelessness, crime and government accountability in a city long run by Democrats.
“I keep saying I become the mayor because of moms. Moms are getting me elected. Moms do not feel safe in Los Angeles. Not just feel safe, they are not safe. Nobody’s safe really in LA unless you’re the drug dealer. The drug dealers and the people giving them the needles, the city, our taxpayer money, the needle givers, they’re safe, the meth pipe givers. They’re safe. Everyone else is not safe in LA,” Pratt argued this past weekend in an interview on Fox News’ “Saturday In America with Kayleigh McEnany.”
Pratt is targeting Mayor Karen Bass, a former Democratic congresswoman seeking a second four-year term steering Los Angeles. Bass, who has been endorsed by former Vice President Kamala Harris, a former California senator and state attorney general, as well as the state’s two Democratic senators, Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, last week landed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom’s backing.
IS THERE A ‘GROWING REVOLT’ AGAINST CALIFORNIA’S ONE-PARTY RULE?

Bass is attempting to fend off challenges from the right from Pratt and on the left from progressive City Council member Nithya Raman. If no candidate tops 50% in Tuesday’s nonpartisan mayoral election, the top two finishers will face off in November.
In the race for governor, a whopping 61 candidates are running to succeed Newsom in steering the nation’s most populous state and the world’s fourth-largest-economy.
But heading into the jungle primary, where all candidates regardless of party affiliation appear on the same ballot, with the top two finishers advancing to the general election, only a handful of contenders have a good chance of making the cut.
Among them are Democrats Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer and Republican Steve Hilton.
Becerra, a former longtime congressman and California attorney general who later served as a Cabinet secretary in former President Biden’s administration, would become the first Latino Golden State governor in modern history. Steyer, meanwhile, is a billionaire hedge fund founder turned environmental activist who unsuccessfully ran for his party’s 2020 presidential nomination.
DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB
Hilton is a one-time British political strategist turned American conservative commentator and former Fox News Channel host who is backed by Trump.
Also in the race is Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican. Hilton and Bianco are both hoping to become the first California Republican win a gubernatorial election since then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2006 re-election two decades ago.
Bianco has argued that he’s the most conservative candidate in the race.
But Hilton, in an interview on Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show,” reiterated his argument that “Chad is just too far behind. He can’t make it into the top two. So every vote for him actually helps the Democrats. We have got to make sure of this. We can’t let this opportunity for change slip away.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Alex Padilla mulled launching Democratic bids for governor, but both last year announced they would take a pass. That resulted in the lack of a clear Golden State gubernatorial frontrunner for the first time in more than a quarter century.
And the race was overshadowed for much of last year, as the devastation from the LA wildfires and Trump’s immigration raids grabbed headlines in California.
But the showdown for governor entered the spotlight earlier this year when one of the leading candidates, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, dropped out of the race and then resigned from Congress following a political implosion after facing multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct that he continues to deny.
Swalwell’s exit from the race opened the door for first Steyer and then Becerra to rise in the polls. Steyer shelled out more than $200 million of his own money to blanket the airwaves and the internet with ads.
Bianco, who launched his campaign for governor in April of last year, was among the top contenders in the race until Trump’s endorsement of Hilton in early April blunted his momentum.
Iowa showdowns
In Iowa, the retirements of Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds and GOP Sen. Joni Ernst along with the rough political midterm climate facing Republicans, have Democrats optimistic they can flip the seats in a one-time battleground state that turned red the past decade.
Trump, who carried Iowa by 13 points in his 2024 presidential election victory, last week weighed in on the competitive GOP gubernatorial primary,
The president endorsed Rep. Randy Feenstra in a race that also includes entrepreneur and private school co-founder Zach Lahn, who is backed by the influential conservative group Turning Point USA, state Rep. Eddie Andrews, former state Rep. Brad Sherman and former state administrative services director Adam Steen.

The winner will face Democratic state Auditor Rob Sand, who is unopposed in his primary. Sand is the only Democrat currently elected to statewide office.
The brute force of the president’s endorsement power and the immense grip he has on the Republican Party has been on display in GOP primaries the past month, with his candidates ousting incumbents he targeted in showdowns in Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky and Texas.
Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa is the overwhelming frontrunner to secure her party’s Senate nomination in the race to succeed retiring Ernst.
Hinson, a former TV news anchor who is in her third term representing Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District, is facing a long-shot challenge from former state senator and former U.S. Senate candidate Jim Carlin. Hinson is backed by Trump, Senate Majority Leader Sen. John Thune, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is the campaign arm of the Senate GOP. Hinson, who in 2020 flipped a Democratic-held seat that covers the northeastern portion of Iowa, is seen as a rising star in the party.

The Republican-controlled seat in Iowa is a top target for Democrats and the race is one of about a dozen crucial showdowns in this year’s midterm elections that will determine whether the Republicans hold on to their current 53-47 majority in the chamber.
Hinson will face off in the general election against the winner of an expensive and contentious Democratic Senate primary between state Rep. Josh Turek, a Paralympian, and state Sen. Zach Wahls.
Wahls, a progressive who Republicans have likened to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has the backing of liberal champion Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Turek, the more moderate Senate contender who flipped a GOP-held Iowa House seat in 2022, is backed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. He also has the tacit support of longtime Senate Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. And VoteVets, an establishment-aligned outside group, has spent big bucks on behalf of Turek.
Primaries in Iowa’s 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts will set up general election showdowns in crucial GOP-held seats that Democrats are aiming to flip.
Other showdowns
It’s the same story in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, another purple seat Democrats are eyeing as they try to regain the House majority.
The Republican incumbent, Rep. Tom Kean Jr., has been in the national headlines after being absent from Congress and the campaign trail for three months due to a “a personal medical issue.”
In New Mexico, the race to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is taking top billing.
Former Rep. Deb Haaland, who served as Interior Secretary in former President Joe Biden’s administration and made history as the nation’s first Native American woman to serve as a Cabinet secretary, who’s to make history again as the first Native American woman elected as governor. She faces off against Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman. Three major Republicans are seeking their party’s gubernatorial nomination.
Montana voters will select nominees in Tuesday’s primary to replace departing Republican incumbent Sen. Steve Daines.

The senator and Trump are backing former U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme, who jumped into the race in March immediately after Daines announced his retirement just ahead of the state’s filing deadline, in what appeared to be a carefully choreographed move. Alme faces two longshot rivals for the nomination.
Former state Rep. Reilly Neill appears to be the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in the solidly Republican state.
The Republican and Democratic nominees will face off in the general election against former University of Montana president Seth Bodnar, who is running as an independent and has outraised everyone else in the race.
