A week after California's primary day, reality TV star Spencer Pratt's insurgenting campaign for LA mayor has officially run its course. NBC News projecting progressive city council woman Nithia Ramen, who had been steadily gaining ground on the conservative political outsider, will now advance to the fall runoff against incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass.

The results a bitter disappointment for Pratt's supporters after his election night high when results showed him in second place last week. I didn't know I'd be here tonight, but this obviously God's plan.

>> The race drawing national attention with some top Republicans without evidence claiming voter fraud, including President Trump posting on True Social not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the LA runoffs after the big lead.

He had rigged elections. But California's election process often slower than other states. More than 80% in this race voting by mail. And those ballots are counted so long as they're postmarked by election day. Mayor Bass firing back.

>> What do you make of the president's claims and some of the claims by Spencer Pratt supporters that the Democrats have cheated in this election? Well, I mean, I think that that's a familiar um accusation that is made when one is losing.
