California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton<\/strong> has teased a role for Spencer Pratt<\/strong><\/a> following the reality star’s failed bid to become Los Angeles mayor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I would be honored to have him in any kind of role,” Hilton, 56, revealed during a Thursday, June 11, appearance on Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two candidates were on the same California ballot in two separate primary races on June 2 – and both were endorsed<\/a> by President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the gubernatorial primary, King advanced to face Democratic candidate Xavier Becerra<\/strong> in a November runoff election.<\/p>\n

California’s election laws require that a runoff election occurs unless any candidate receives more than 50 percent in the primary. In the mayoral race, incumbent Karen Bass<\/strong> failed to meet the threshold to win outright but led the race with 34.30 percent.<\/p>\n

With Bass, 72, advancing to the November runoff, all eyes turned to who would finish in second place. Despite a strong early showing for Pratt, 42, he quickly fell behind<\/a> L.A. City Councilmember Nithya Raman<\/strong> as mail-in ballots were counted.<\/p>\n

On Monday, June 8, multiple media organizations officially called the race for second place for Raman, 44. (Per L.A. Vote<\/a>, Raman finished with 29 percent while Pratt trailed in third with 25.52 percent.)<\/p>\n

During his appearance on Fox News, Hilton suggested that Pratt could be useful in a role focused on recovery from the 2025 Palisades Fire. (Pratt made the loss of his and wife Heidi Montag<\/strong>‘s home in the fire a rallying cry for his mayoral campaign.)<\/p>\n

“[I think he could be] particularly focused on the areas he spent so much time looking into and developing positive plans for,” Hilton suggested. “I don’t know where he’s at. I haven’t spoken to him since the election result but of course he made a huge impact.”<\/p>\n

Hilton added, “[Pratt] gave hope in Los Angeles and I actually think it’s a travesty that we have this top two system, which meant that in L.A., there’s not the same chance for change as we are now going to have statewide.”<\/p>\n

Pratt has been uncharacteristically quiet since he was officially ruled out of the mayoral runoff earlier this week. While his campaign gained a foothold with provocative memes and combative statements, Pratt initially tried to calm anger among his supporters when he fell behind Raman in vote totals.<\/p>\n

“Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference; there are still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let’s git-r-dun,” he tweeted<\/a> on June 8.<\/p>\n

The former Hills<\/em> star later posted a cryptic photo of a sitting duck<\/a> on Tuesday, June 9. His only other statement came after late-night host Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong>offered to buy him a U-haul<\/a> since Pratt previously threatened to move out of Los Angeles<\/a> if he lost the race.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, June 10, Pratt shared footage of the wreckage<\/a> of his burned home, along with clapping back, “Jimmy Kimmel i guess you missed the part of the story i don’t need a U-Haul\u2026I have nothing left to pack.”<\/p>\n
