Spencer Pratt has confidently claimed he\u2019s already looking ahead to a November runoff as election results Tuesday night showed him comfortably in second place behind incumbent mayor Karen Bass.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe knows it\u2019s on. I hope she\u2019s ready,\u201d Pratt said on Tuesday. \u201cI literally could not be more excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am ready for whatever God puts in front of me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going to be happy if I wasn\u2019t moving forward, but now I feel very confident.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pratt said the coming months will allow him to continue building a team capable of governing Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have five months to put the best team the city could ever dream of,\u201d Pratt said.<\/p>\n

Pratt\u2019s bullish comments came as Bass advanced to the November runoff while Pratt held second place ahead of socialist City Councilmember Nithya Raman in third.<\/p>\n

While a large number of ballots remain to be counted, political observers increasingly view a Bass-Pratt matchup as the most likely outcome.<\/p>\n

Pratt told reporters he entered election night prepared for any result.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do have that team. We\u2019ll see who is ready to come forward because retaliation is a real thing with Bass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pratt also said a potential runoff campaign would give him an opportunity to demonstrate the amount of support behind his candidacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the next five months I\u2019m going to have time to build out this team to show the level of Democratic supporters I have behind me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Throughout the question-and-answer session, Pratt argued that voters have responded to his outsider message.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day what\u2019s been resonating is that people just want the truth and they want to know somebody\u2019s heart,\u201d Pratt said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI try to be as true to my authentic self and I just believe a lot of Los Angeles is so excited to hear from a non-politician.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pratt said voters are looking for someone willing to fight for their communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want somebody to speak the truth for their communities and fight for them,\u201d he said. \u201cThey want a fighter that\u2019s going to step up when the city fails them or their elected leaders fail them and I\u2019m ready to be that person for Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pratt also sought to reinforce that his mayoral bid is serious and not simply a celebrity campaign. \u201cI\u2019m going to prove to everybody this is for real and I\u2019m ready to run this city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also thanked supporters who helped propel his campaign from a long-shot candidacy into a serious contender.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for everybody who fights for me in the comments section, people all over the United States who used to live in LA,\u201d Pratt said.<\/p>\n

Pratt took one final jab at Raman, who remained in third place in the early returns and had not conceded Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe communist already lost,\u201d Pratt said.<\/p>\n

As election officials continued counting ballots, Pratt made clear he was already looking ahead to the months ahead and a potential showdown with Bass.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can do debates every Friday if she\u2019d like,\u201d Pratt repeated. \u201cAs many debates as Mayor Bass would like.\u201d<\/p>\n
