Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt met with President Donald Trump Monday in the Oval Office while in Washington, D.C., a senior administration official confirmed to Fox News Digital.
“I will never stop fighting for my community,” Pratt captioned the photo of the meeting on X.
Pratt posted a photo of the meeting on X showing himself and his son seated with an unidentified man and who appeared to be White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles at the Resolute Desk across from Trump. The meeting took place before Trump departed to Turkey to attend the NATO summit.
SPENCER PRATT’S UNEXPECTED POLITICAL RISE FROM MTV VILLAIN TO KAREN BASS CHALLENGER
The former reality TV star drew national attention with a surprise bid for Los Angeles mayor, challenging incumbent Karen Bass but ultimately falling short.
Pratt met with “lots of people” while at the White House, the official added.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Pratt’s team for additional comment.
Pratt announced Tuesday he is launching The WAR Foundation, an organization focused on fighting political corruption through media campaigns, investigative research, and public education.
The foundation says it aims to promote transparency, accountability, and what it describes as restoring “common sense” while opposing socialism in government and cultural institutions.
TRUMP SAYS HE HOPES SPENCER PRATT DOES WELL IN LA MAYORAL RACE, BLASTS CALIFORNIA’S ‘RIGGED’ ELECTIONS
Trump endorsed Pratt in May, urging California voters to support his campaign.
Pratt’s Oval Office meeting came right after Independence Day, when he went viral for slamming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Fourth of July comments.
Mamdani took the opportunity to criticize U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Elon Musk and what he described as the “arena of supremacy” in the United States.
“As we mark 250 years, what do we see?” Mamdani said in part. “We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions.”
“Notice how the communists always attack your history,” Pratt said of Mamdani in the viral response video.
He filmed his response beside his RV on the site where his home burned down in the Los Angeles Palisades fire – a key reason for his bid for mayor. He sported a T-shirt reading, “the anti-socialists social club” in the video.
“The communist destroys your history so he can take your home and rebuild it in his image. That’s why it is your patriotic duty to celebrate today unashamed. It’s ok to love America, not only is it ok to love America, it’s necessary to love America. We are the only bulwark against tyranny on this earth,” said Pratt in part.
