"Trisha Paytas' announcement that she intends to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives in her home state, California, has come as a surprise to many. As someone put on X/Twitter on Tuesday (6 January): "Trisha Paytas announcing that she is running for the House of Representatives was not on my 2026 bingo card." Since then, Spencer Pratt, a reality TV star, has announced his own political aspirations by launching a campaign to become the Mayor of Los Angeles."
"Posted on Tuesday, it sees Paytas enjoying a meal from the notoriously homophobic food chain, Chick-fil-A, and explaining some of her thoughts. In a TikTok video, also posted on Tuesday, Paytas added: "I never thought of myself as a political person until I started having kids and realising, like, the world could be just so disastrous." One thing she's expressed an interest in doing is introducing a bill making sex work legal from the age of 25."
Trisha Paytas announced plans to run for a US House seat in California, surprising many on social media. She posted a video titled "2026 MANIFESTATIONS" and a TikTok, said parenthood prompted political interest, and proposed legislation to legalize sex work from age 25. Spencer Pratt launched a mayoral campaign for Los Angeles at an event for Palisades Fire victims, stating "Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles" and criticizing inaction. The trend of celebrities entering politics is highlighted by recent campaigns and the example of Donald Trump, suggesting public figures increasingly pursue elected office.
