The AI-generated video has drawn millions of views and praise from conservatives, but it offers little detail on Pratt’s policy plans.

- Approaching the June 2 primary, polls show Bass leading with 25 percent support, while Pratt trails at 11 percent and Raman at 9 percent, though the race remains wide open.
