'Price Is Right' host torches MAGA-backed candidate as 'serial scammer without a soul'

Drew Carey, host of "The Price Is Right," fired off his criticism of MAGA star and former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.

Carey made his opinion known of the Los Angeles mayoral candidate in a post on Threads.

"Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their a--. I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass. F--- this guy already," Carey wrote.

"Pratt, the MAGA-coded registered Republican and former villain cast member of The Hills running to unseat Democratic Mayor Karen Bass, said he decided to run as a Republican because he feared for his safety under Democrat leadership when he was a 'hated' reality star," according to The Beast.

President Donald Trump has signaled his support for Pratt, calling him "a character" and that "I'd like to see him do well." Trump also claimed "I heard he's a big MAGA person."

But Pratt has pushed back on being labeled as "MAGA."

"He also cites his pro–Second Amendment views on gun rights as more closely aligned with the right. Pratt has insisted, however, that he is 'not MAGA' and likens his candidacy to that of former President Barack Obama," The Beast reported.

Pratt, who announced his candidacy for Los Angeles mayor in 2026 as a political newcomer, has sought to bring attention to homelessness and other city issues. His campaign has garnered significant media attention due to his celebrity status and reality television past, though he has faced skepticism from political observers regarding his lack of prior political experience and specific policy proposals.
