"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star was asked what she thinks of SP while walking the carpet for Monday night's American Music Awards -- and she gave an honest assessment.
Watch the video for her full explanation ... but basically, she thinks no reality star should be in a top government position -- she even alludes to Trump and issues and blowback he's faced in his two terms.
Spencer Pratt's putting more distance between himself and the Republican Party -- telling his followers he's not running for either major political party because he's not a fan of politicians.
The former reality star turned mayoral candidate took to X to clarify his party affiliation -- or lack thereof -- Saturday ... sharing a photo of his name on the ballot.
Pratt notes his name doesn't have a "D" for Democrat or "R" for Republican on it ... he's not part of either tribe, as he calls them.
President Donald Trump says he'd likeSpencer Pratt to succeed in his Los Angeles mayoral bid ... because he's heard the candidate is a Trump loyalist, through and through.
POTUS was asked about Pratt -- a fellow reality star running for office just like DJT himself back in 2015 -- at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Wednesday morning ... and he says he'd like to see SP do well, since he's heard Pratt's a MAGA supporter.
Trump notes he doesn't know the reality star personally ... but as long as Pratt's rocking with him, he's rocking with Pratt.
Spencer did not exactly embrace the support in a heavily Democratic city, telling TMZ, "Everybody wants me to succeed because L.A. is the most important city in the country," adding, "The only support I need is from moms that wanna feel safe in Los Angeles. I'm laser focused on that."
Ted Cruz is weighing in on the Los Angeles mayoral race ... telling TMZ DC things are so bad in Los Angeles under Mayor Karen Bass ... while praising Spencer Pratt.
Jacob got the Senator from Texas on Capitol Hill and asked him if a potential Trump endorsement would help or hurt Spencer in a solid blue area.
Ted says he doesn't know what the result of Trump endorsement would be ... but he doesn't think it would matter either way, considering what he feels is a steep decline in the quality of life for Angelinos under Bass..
Spencer's been ripping Bass in political attack ads, and Ted says they're going viral because "they speak to a real truth" about "devastating" Bass policies when it comes to wildfires, crime, drug use in the streets and homelessness.
The way Ted sees it ... even the most liberal voter in Los Angeles doesn't want their kids to have to dodge homeless people on the way to school ... or step over human feces on the way to work.
No word if, or when, Spencer might pick up a Trump endorsement ... but it sounds like he's got one here from Ted.
Lindsey Graham is no Jack Osbourne when it comes to the intersection of celebrity and politics, telling TMZ DC ... celebs should absolutely use their platforms to get involved, even if they're gonna be "obnoxious" about it.

TMZ obtained photos of Spencer and his wife, Heidi Montag, finishing up breakfast Monday morning in Carpinteria, CA ... and folks who were there tell us Spencer and Heidi didn't have any security in tow.
Spencer was rocking a black Heidiwood t-shirt, shorts, and a hat ... and Heidi was dressed casually as they broke bread at Corazon Cocina Sur. For what it's worth, the joint looked pretty empty.

Google Maps appears to have rolled back parts of Los Angeles to pre-Palisades Fire imagery ... making burned-down neighborhoods suddenly look untouched again.
Users, including Spencer Pratt, noticed the change Monday after updated satellite views on Google Maps appeared to restore homes, streets, and landmarks that were destroyed in the devastating wildfire.
A Google spokesperson says the change was accidental ... telling TMZ, "This is a technical issue triggered by a recent, routine update to satellite imagery in Google Maps and Earth, which accidentally restored old imagery from before the fire. We’re fixing it ASAP."

Spencer called out the local politicians -- namely Mayor Karen Bass -- for their purported failures to manage the wildfires.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Chelsea posted a video on Instagram reminding everyone that Spencer is a "straight, white male former reality star" with no previous government experience, which does not make him a legit candidate to replace Bass.
Brandi Glanville thinks Spencer Pratt's got a serious chance to win the L.A. mayoral race ... even if she's not quite ready to throw her support behind him.
The 'Real Housewives' alum veered into politics on her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast with co-host James Maas ... mentioning her fellow reality star's run to take over the highest seat in Los Angeles.
Glanville says she's not sure who she's voting for -- she doesn't like incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, but it seems she doesn't usually vote Republican -- regardless, she says Spencer's got a good chance. Nithya Raman was entirely snubbed going without a mention from Brandi.

8:31 AM PT -- We asked Spencer if he has ever lived in the trailer, and he said no, adding, "I have never told anyone I lived there." However, in the campaign ad, he says squarely, "This is where I live" as he stood in front of the trailer.

“I don't live at the hotel Bel Air. I don't live in the Airstream. I don't live in Santa Barbara. I don't have a house. They burned it down,” he said.
