Things are suddenly heating up in a Los Angeles mayoral race that many expected to be a cakewalk for the incumbent when this all first began.

And it’s all thanks to a guy best known for being a reality television villain.

Incumbent LA Mayor Karen Bass, as theLos Angeles Timesput it, “appeared to be on the path to an easy reelection, with no serious challengers in sight after a relatively drama-free first two years in office.

“But that was before a wildfire annihilated swaths of Pacific Palisades, putting Bass’ leadership under a national microscope.”

And few public personalities have put Bass’ leadership under a searing microscope quite like former reality television star — and legitimate contender to be Los Angeles’ next mayor —Spencer Pratt.

The former “The Hills” star has burst onto the political scene as a Republican candidate, and has made waves for his dismantling of Bass’ response to the Palisades and Eaton fires that ravaged Southern California homes — including his own.

Given that, Pratt’s microscope hasn’t gotten any less scrutinizing as Californians get closer to the election.

The latest salvo fired by the former television star actually came in direct response to a social media post from Bass:

You can drop off your ballot at voting centers and drop boxes throughout the city. Voting early is easy, even Babies for Bass agree!pic.twitter.com/aVw3WuPLwB
