现任洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯、共和党挑战者斯宾塞·普拉特，以及与美国民主社会主义者组织结盟的市议员尼提亚·拉曼，于周三展开了一场激烈的无党派辩论，该市将于6月2日举行市长初选。
这场由NBC4和Telemundo 52主办的辩论围绕公共安全、经济负担能力和移民问题展开。社交媒体上的保守派评论人士，以及一些左翼人士普遍认为，普拉特在以《好莱坞女孩》真人秀明星身份踏入政坛后，表现超出了预期。
福克斯新闻数字频道回顾了本场辩论的精彩瞬间，包括巴斯直面2025年席卷南加州的帕利塞兹大火相关问题。

“被捅脖子”
“首先，我想说，‘安全内部’计划让我们所有人在外面都不安全，”普拉特在辩论接近中段时说道。
“安全内部”是巴斯牵头推出的市政项目，旨在将人们从无家可归者营地转移到临时或永久的室内住房中。市政府的一份报告显示，该项目花费了3亿美元，帮助了约6000人，其中40%的人后来又重返街头。
“现实情况是，无论你为这些人提供多少床位，他们都在大量吸食冰毒，”普拉特继续说道。“他们在吸食芬太尼。美国缉毒局的统计数据显示，93%的这一问题是药物成瘾问题。我明天可以和拉曼一起去海港高速公路下方，我们能找到一些她声称要提供治疗的人。她会被捅脖子的。”

“这是一个是或否的问题”
辩论接近尾声时，主持人恩里克·基亚布拉向三位候选人提出了一个直截了当的问题。
“我想问你们三位，这是一个是或否的问题，请直接回答，”基亚布拉说。“假设有一位洛杉矶市议员，他希望由选民来决定。他提出，非公民是否应该被允许在地方选举中投票。普拉特先生，这是是还是不是？”

普拉特只用一个词回答：“不。”
巴斯给出了更长的回答，区分了绿卡持有者和非法移民，并指出一些城市允许前者在地方选举中投票。
与此同时，拉曼的回答被《洛杉矶时报》的一位专栏作家描述为“语无伦次”。“嗯，我想说，这在其他地方也有不同情况，学区委员会有非公民，作为居民的非公民会为这些职位投票，”她开始说道，随后被主持人打断。
“市长让我们面临的最危险的事情”
辩论初期，普拉特抨击巴斯对2025年1月太平洋帕利塞兹大火的处理方式。
“巴斯市长，当时有一千名消防员待命，但他们没有消防车可用，因为克劳利局长在九周前向市长申请了1700万美元，而凯伦·巴斯市长否决了这项申请，”普拉特说。“更不用说贾尼斯·基奥内斯了，凯伦·巴斯市长让她在洛杉矶水务局担任要职。她抽干了消防员灭火所需的两个水库的水。”

普拉特称巴斯在大火发生前的行为“是市长让我们面临的最危险的事情”。
“巴斯市长和我绝对不会合作”
一直在民调中难以突破的拉曼在辩论中指责巴斯和普拉特联手将她排除在大选之外。
“你们今天会看到巴斯市长和斯宾塞·普拉特攻击我，因为他们想在大选中互相竞争，”拉曼直接对辩论观众说道。
“首先，巴斯市长和我绝对不会合作，”普拉特回应道。“我指责这个人烧毁了我的房子、我父母的房子、我的小镇和我所有邻居的家。”

他接着指出，在他看来，巴斯与工会的密切关系以及她现任市长的身份，使她成为比拉曼更强大的对手。
普拉特在发言结束时将拉曼斥为“随机选出的市议员”。
“公共安全应该是我们的首要任务”
随着辩论转向公共安全话题，普拉特借机抨击拉曼历来主张削减警察经费。
“拉曼议员一直说警察部门资金过剩——公共安全应该是我们的首要任务，”他说。“当我们停止她那些毫无意义的开放式床位计划时，我们就能找到所有这些资金。那些计划实际上并没有将吸毒者安置在这些住房中，我们却为此花费了数十亿美元，我们应该开始核查这些资金的去向。”
普拉特提议为洛杉矶警察局提供更多资源，最终将警力扩充至12500名警员。

Incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Republican challenger Spencer Pratt, and Democratic Socialists of America-aligned city councilwoman Nithya Raman squared off in a heated nonpartisan debate on Wednesday as the city heads toward its June 2 mayoral primary.
The debate, hosted by NBC4 and Telemundo 52, centered on questions of public safety, affordability and immigration. Conservative commentators on social media, as well as some on the left, generally felt that Pratt exceeded expectations as he jumps into politics following his history as a reality star on “The Hills.”
Fox News Digital took a look back at the top moments of the debate, including Bass confronting top issues such as the Palisades fires that tore through Southern California in 2025.

‘Stabbed in the neck’
“First off, Inside Safe, I like to say Inside Safe makes all of us outside, unsafe,” Pratt said near the midpoint of the debate.
Inside Safe is a municipal program spearheaded by Bass intended to take people out of homeless encampments and bring them into temporary or permanent indoor housing. A city report found that it spent $300 million on the project, which assisted roughly 6,000 people, 40% of whom have since ended up back on the streets.
“The reality is, no matter how many beds you give these people, they are on super meth,” Pratt continued. “They are on fentanyl. The DEA statistic says 93% of this is a drug addiction problem. I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with Raman and we can find some of these people she’s going to offer treatment for. She’s going to get stabbed in the neck.”

‘This is a yes or no question’
Near the end of the debate, moderator Enrique Chiabra asked the three candidates a straightforward question.
“I want to ask you all three if this is a yes or no question and answer,” Chiabra said. “So there’s an LA council member. He wants voters to decide. He is saying that noncitizens, should they be allowed to vote in local elections. Is this a yes or no, Mr. Pratt?”

Pratt answered in a single word: “No.”
Bass gave a longer answer, differentiating between green card holders and illegal immigrants, pointing out that some cities allow the former category to vote in local elections.
Raman, meanwhile, gave an answer that a Los Angeles Times columnist described as “tongue-tied.”
“Yeah, I would say again, it does depend in other places, school boards have noncitizens, noncitizens who are residents who vote for these,” she began to say, before a moderator cut her off.
‘The most dangerous thing that the mayor put us up against’
Early in the debate, Pratt took a jab at Bass over her handling of the January 2025 Pacific Palisades fires.
“To the mayor, Karen Bass, the thousand firefighters that were available, but there [were] no engines for them because of the $17 million that Chief Crowley had asked the mayor for nine weeks before, and Mayor Karen Bass denied it,” Pratt said. “Not to mention Janisse Quinones, who Mayor Karen Bass put into a position of power at the LA DWP. She drained both of these reservoirs that these firefighters needed to put out these fires.”

Pratt called Bass’ conduct in the lead-up to the fires “the most dangerous thing that the mayor put us up against.”
‘Mayor Bass and I are definitely not working together’
Raman, who has been struggling to break through in the polls, accused Bass and Pratt during the debate of working together to block her out of the general election.
“You’re going to watch today as Mayor Bass and Spencer Pratt attack me because they want to run against each other in the general election,” Raman said, directly addressing debate viewers.
“First off, Mayor Bass and I are definitely not working together,” Pratt responded. “I blame this person for burning my house and my parents’ house and my town and all my neighbors down.”

He went on to point out that Bass’ strong relationship with labor unions and her status as incumbent mayor made her a stronger opponent than Raman, in his view.
Pratt concluded his statement by dismissing Raman as a “random council member.”
‘Public safety should be our number one priority’
As the debate shifted to public safety, Pratt took an opportunity to slam Raman for historically advocating for decreased police funding.
“Councilwoman Raman keeps saying that the police department is over funded –public safety should be our number one priority,” he said. “And we’re going to find all this money when we stop her useless open bed plans. That actually doesn’t put drug addicts in these housing, that we’re spending billions of dollars, and we’re going to actually start checking where this money is going.”

Pratt proposed providing more resources to the Los Angeles Police Department to ultimately build the force to 12,500 officers.
