Samuel L. Jackson supports Karen Bass for mayor of Los Angeles

Samuel L. Jackson Endorses Mayor Karen Bass

In an unexpected turn, Samuel L. Jackson shared a seriously lackluster video supporting Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as her lead over Spencer Pratt dwindles.

As Pratt, the former reality star, gains traction in the polls, Bass reached out to her Hollywood connections for some star power to bolster her campaign.

The 77-year-old actor stared straight into the camera, delivering his lines about public transit without any visible enthusiasm, rarely cracking a smile.

Jackson asserted that Bass grasps “the government” and “the needs of the people,” maintaining a flat tone throughout the message.

He emphasized the importance of unity, stating that the times call for “people who take to the streets and try to bring people together,” referring specifically to Bass.

At the end of the video, he simply stated, “Karen Bass for mayor,” managing a faint smile.

Bass expressed her gratitude on social media, sharing her appreciation for Jackson’s endorsement. She noted that he has consistently supported causes he believes in and is thankful he’s standing with her for Los Angeles.

She added that they are both focused on creating change in the city, aiming to connect more people with housing and services, while also pushing for affordable housing and crime reduction.

Earlier this week, former soap star Lisa Rinna joined the conversation around the mayoral race but seemed a bit confused, suggesting that Pratt might not be the right choice for the position.

Rinna appeared to mix up candidates, mistakenly linking Pratt with those running for the California governor’s seat once Gavin Newsom steps down.

As the primary approaches on June 2, Bass faces intense competition from Pratt, as well as progressive City Council member Nitya Raman. Celebrities like basketball legend Magic Johnson are also being roped in for support.

A recent Emerson College poll indicates that Bass is at 30% approval, Pratt is slightly behind at 22%, while Raman has 19%, and 16% of voters remain undecided.
