Caitlyn Jenner Explores Run for Governor of California
Former TV reality star Caitlyn Jenner is reportedly exploring a run for California governor as sitting Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom is buffeted by a recall effort.
Jenner has reportedly retained the services of Caroline Wren, a Republican fundraiser. According to Axios, Wren first met Jenner during their work with the American Unity Fund, a GOP nonprofit focusing on LGBT issues.
Wren also worked with President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.
While it isn’t clear who Republican voters and party bigwigs may gravitate toward if Newsom is successfully recalled, some reports have noted that Trump allies are looking to former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell to replace Newsom.
According to Breitbart News’s Matthew Boyle, “sources familiar with the matter say Grenell is definitely considering a run for the governor’s mansion if a recall election is triggered.”
Republicans are obviously hopeful as they have historical evidence that they could replace a recalled Democrat governor. In 2003, upset voters successfully recalled Democrat Gov. Gray Davis, who was later replaced by actor Arnold Schwarzenegger who ran for and won the office as a Republican.
Jenner first became a national figure during the 1976 Olympics by winning the decathlon. Under the birth name Bruce Jenner, the Olympian, ended up all over television and Wheaties boxes nationwide. Jenner won the gold in the 1975 Pan American Games as well as the 1976 Olympics.
But in 2015, Jenner made more news by transitioning to a woman and adopting the new name Caitlyn. In the meantime, though, Jenner was also a member of the TV reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians after having married family matriarch Kris Kardashian in 1991. Jenner and Kardashian had two daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
At least one big name Democrat has bowed out of challenging Newsom in any potential recall election. Billionaire left-wing mega-donor and former presidential candidate Tom Steyer decided last week against challenging Newsom in a likely upcoming recall election.
It is likely that Steyer decided against a run after a recent poll found that Newsom still has strong support among voters. Still, leaders of the recall petition effort say they have the necessary number of signatures to start the recall process.

With Biden in the White House, President Trump predicted, China would “own the United States.” There’s also something to Trump’s charge that the Bidens are an “organized crime family.”
This is because despite all its declarations, the Democratic Party is not a party of workers. It, as Biden’s transition team attests, is a party of Wall Street, big banks, Amazon, and the military-industrial complex.
PERKS FOR PRICKS: Democratic Governors Embroiled in Monumental Vaccine Bribery Scandal, Journalism Reveals
Announced partnerships with CVS after pharmacy giant donated massive sums to Democrats
Some of the most prominent Democratic governors in the country have partnered with CVS Pharmacy to distribute COVID-19 vaccines to their constituents, raising questions about political corruption and bribery at the top levels of the Democratic Party.
Why did these governors—Gavin Newsom of California, Andrew Cuomo of New York, and Ralph Northam of Virginia—choose CVS?
Campaign finance reports skillfully obtained and extensively reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show that CVS donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Democratic Party during the 2020 election cycle. CVS cofounder Stanley Goldstein, meanwhile, donated $3,000 to federal candidates—all Democrats—before retiring in 2006.
Why does it matter? According to CBS News: "Distributing vaccines is lucrative. Under federal guidelines, Publix, like any other private company, can charge Medicare $40 a shot to administer the vaccine."
A journalistic analysis of the finance reports conclusively demonstrated that CVS donated $31,000 to Newsom's campaign on Oct. 14, 2020, less than four months before the pharmacy announced a partnership with the California Department of Health. The pharmacy giant also donated $10,000 to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of the most influential Democrats in Congress, who just happens to represent a district in California.
The analysis also determined that CVS donated $12,000 to Northam between 2017 and 2018, and contributed $20,000 to the Commonwealth Victory Fund on Dec. 17, 2020, just weeks before Northam announced the vaccine partnership with the pharmacy. A subsequent Google search revealed that the Commonwealth Victory Fund is the primary fundraising arm of the Virginia General Assembly's Democratic Caucus.
Additional analysis concluded that CVS donated a whopping $170,000 in 2020 to the Democratic Party in New York, the same state where Cuomo serves as governor. The corporation donated $10,000 to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, and gave an additional $10,000 to Schumer's political action committee.
The CVS influence campaign did not stop there. The company sought to curry favor at the national level by contributing $30,000 each to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Most disturbingly of all, CVS employees donated a staggering $450,595 to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, according to federal documents extracted and decoded by the Free Beacon.
