Spencer Pratt, the former reality star who recently lost the Los Angeles mayoral election, has teamed up with President Donald Trump to push for a federal tax incentive aimed at saving Hollywood's film and television industry. Pratt met with Trump on Friday to advocate for a 25% federal film tax credit, an effort that has been stalled and revived multiple times over the past year.

In an Instagram post, Pratt stated, "Working with the President on a 25% FEDERAL film tax credit to bring back Hollywood." He expressed his commitment to reviving the entertainment industry and criticized Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for outsourcing production jobs. Pratt's role in the initiative, whether as a lobbyist or as a special ambassador, remains unclear.

This isn't Pratt's first instance of using social media for political statements; after his mayoral defeat, he attacked his opponents with fiery rhetoric. The battle over bringing back TV and film jobs to California continues as Bass and Pratt will face off in the November gubernatorial election.
