Scoop: Caitlyn Jenner explores run for California governor

Former reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner is talking with political consultants as she actively explores a run for governor of California, three sources with direct knowledge of her deliberations tell Axios.

Why it matters: Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is facing a recall election. A challenge from Jenner, a high-profile Republican and previous Trump supporter, would draw heightened attention to the race to lead the nation's most populous state.

• Jenner is being assisted in her consideration by Caroline Wren, a longtime GOP fundraiser. Wren initially met Jenner through her work with the American Unity Fund, a GOP nonprofit focused on LGBT issues.
• Wren previously worked at Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee for President Trump's 2020 campaign, and also helped organize the rally he addressed immediately before the U.S. Capitol assault on Jan. 6.
• A spokesman for Jenner declined to comment. Wren also declined to comment.

Jenner burst onto the national stage when she won the 1976 Olympic decathlon. She transitioned to a woman in 2015 and adopted her new name.

• She had returned to the public spotlight several years earlier in the reality show “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” which chronicled the life of the blended family into which she married in 1991.

Republicans have launched a recall campaign against Newsom, angry about his immigration and tax policies. The effort gained momentum amid added criticism of the governor's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

• In 2003, California Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, faced a similar effort.
• He was recalled and replaced by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former bodybuilder and star of the "Terminator" movie series.

My campaign slogan?

"A vote for me is a vote for the guy who DIDNT cut his own dick off!"

 

[Toolbox]

Is this how California finally collapses??

 

[Tootsie Bear]

At this point California will fair better in having a major earthquake than these two nuts as governor.

 

[usernames can change now!]

Try "a vote for me is a vote for a guy who didn't commit vehicular manslaughter and get away with it because they were famous".

And despite that, Jenner is still a better choice than Newsom.

And against gay marriage and quite conservative. It would be like a sending in a undercover CIA operative to turn Cali more conservative under the guise that it comes from a tranny.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

nuts

Lol nuts amirite?

 

[Slappy McGherkin]

Awww, hell. Why not have the whole Kardashian clan of fucknutz run as a clan? It's what California deserves for making these idjiots famous in the first place.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

And despite that, Jenner is still a better choice than Newsom.

One thinks someone is brave for a man going into a woman’s bathroom
The other one thinks he’s brave for enacting out-of-touch climate change policies while not doing anything to stop drug addiction and homelessness in his state

I’m not sure if it’s Jenner being a better choice, or just not being that hard to be less incompetent

 

[Chi-com Soldier]

I sincerely hope Californians vote in this Brave & Stunning woman, because there is no way it will not be funny.

Troonery does beat Feminism. Harshly. Trans rights might very well save the West... by turning all the Libtards into Puritans.

maybe this is an 8-something year long-con coming to a head, at a hefty cost indeed but patriotic olympians are always willing to serve

 

[Ita Mori]

This'll confuse the shit out of wokescolds.
Instinct'll tell them to naturally support the tranny, but then their brain will remind him of his moderate conservatism and Trump support.
Trannies are always right and oppressed for it, but liking Trump, American values, or thinking illegals need to gtfo is worse than Hitler....what do!!!???!!!

Ay ay ay, mi cabeza!

 

[Would]

Plot twist: Jenner wins then reverts to being a man the next day.

Nah I was in CA during the heyday of Jenner winning woman of the year and pretty much everyone but the actual tranny wokescolds thought it was a farce. He won't get far, I expect.
