Former reality television personality and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt met with former President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday, shortly after announcing the launch of a new media organization aimed at promoting government transparency and accountability.

Pratt shared a photo of the meeting on the social media platform X, showing him seated alongside Trump, his son, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. While Pratt did not provide further details about the discussions, his caption affirmed a commitment to advocating for his community. Requests for comment from Pratt and the White House were not immediately returned.

The meeting coincided with Pratt’s public introduction of the WAR Foundation, a nonprofit initiative officially registered with the California Secretary of State on June 24 by his campaign aides Gabriel Mann and Briana Bilbray. The organization intends to utilize a combination of media campaigns, investigative research, educational efforts, and strategic alliances within government and the media to push for increased transparency and integrity in public life.

In announcing the launch, Pratt characterized the foundation as a platform designed to employ “innovative media” aimed at addressing what he described as widespread deficits in leadership courage and cultural fortitude. He criticized current political and cultural environments for lacking boldness, pledging that the foundation would be “bold, unapologetic, and fearless.”

Pratt first gained public attention as a candidate in the Los Angeles mayoral race. His campaign, which ended short of advancing to the November runoff after finishing third in the June primary with 217,977 votes, leaned heavily on social media and viral content. He positioned himself as an anti-establishment outsider confronting city leadership over issues such as homelessness, public safety, and the local government’s response to the Palisades wildfire. One of his more notable campaign videos featured Pratt on his own fire-damaged property, criticizing municipal officials for their handling of the city’s challenges.

Former President Trump publicly endorsed Pratt’s efforts to contest the primary results, declaring the election “rigged” and encouraging Pratt not to “go away quietly.” Earlier in the campaign, Trump had expressed support for Pratt, describing him as “a character” and suggesting that Pratt was aligned with the MAGA movement.

In the primary race, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass secured the highest vote total and will face City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who placed second with 247,781 votes, in the upcoming runoff. Pratt’s new foundation suggests he will continue to maintain a public presence despite his electoral defeat.
