Podcaster Joe Rogan has endorsed reality star Spencer Pratt in his independent run for mayor of Los Angeles. Appearing on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Pratt discussed his campaign, highlighting the city’s homelessness crisis and the “underfunded and understaffed” fire department.
Rogan, who endorsed Donald Trump in 2024, told Pratt: “Listen, man, I’m voting for you.” He clarified that he cannot vote as he relocated from LA to Texas in 2020, but said: “If I lived in Los Angeles, no question whatsoever, I would vote for you.”
Pratt, 42, announced his candidacy in January. A registered Republican, he is running as an independent to unseat Democratic incumbent Karen Bass, who is up for re-election in November. The former The Hills star has been critical of Bass’s response to the 2025 LA wildfires, which destroyed thousands of homes, including his own and his parents’.
Pratt first declared his run at a “They Let Us Burn” rally in Palisades Village, saying: “Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles… this is a mission, and we are going to expose the system.” He added that he is “not a political person” but common sense drove his campaign.
Following the podcast episode’s release, Pratt posted on Facebook: “An honor being on with the GOAT, @joerogan. My goal is to make LA so awesome, we can win him back from Texas.”
