American reality TV star and former athlete Caitlyn Jenner on Friday (local time) that she is running for governor of California. As per Page Six, Caitlyn, a longtime Republican, filed paperwork for the initial stage to challenge Democratic incumbent Governor Gavin Newsom in a potential recall election.
"I’m in! California is worth fighting for. Visit link in bio to follow or donate today," she announced on Instagram. The 71-year-old star has a group of prominent GOP specialists behind her, Axios detailed. They include Tony Fabrizio, a pollster who worked on former President Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns, and Steven Cheung, a previous Trump White House helper who also a part of Arnold Schwarzenegger's group during the star's effective 2003 election.
Jenner's close friend, Brad Parscale, Trump's former campaign manager, helped assemble her group, however, he doesn't anticipate playing an official role on the campaign.
In an explanation, transgender rights activist slammed Newsom for his "over-restrictive lockdown" during the COVID-19 pandemic and whined that the Golden State's taxes are "too high."
Page Six reported that Jenner's website went live on Friday morning, highlighting a large number of campaign goodies available to be purchased, including a couple of stemless 'Caitlyn for California' wine glasses for USD 35 and matching 'drinks coolers' for USD 15.
A campaign adviser told Axios that Jenner, a transsexual rights activist, and Olympic gold-winning decathlete, has solid name recognition and is "very socially liberal."
"She's running as somebody that is socially liberal and fiscally conservative," the advisor said.
Per Page Six, Jenner said she will officially declare her bid in the coming weeks. The outlet reported that the hypothesis of Jenner's appointment whirled recently as Newsom saw his approval ratings plummet as a result of his heavy-handed handling of the COVID-19 crisis.
