Former Trump campaign manager advising Jenner on potential California gubernatorial run

"Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale is advising reality television star Caitlyn Jenner on a possible bid to challenge California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), according to multiple reports.

A source familiar with the discussions told CNN that Parscale agreed to help Jenner, who is reportedly his “friend.” He is assisting her with finding people for campaign roles should she move forward with the run, and is not a paid adviser.

Sources with knowledge of the matter also confirmed the news with The New York Post and The New York Times."

Parscale was the digital guru for former President Trump’s 2016 presidential bid, and later became his campaign manager for his 2020 bid. He was demoted to senior adviser last July, though he still ran the campaign’s digital strategy.

Parscale ultimately stepped away from any role with the Trump campaign in late September to deal with “overwhelming stress” on him and his family. He was reportedly hospitalized after threatening to harm himself during a tense standoff with police.

The fact that Jenner voted for trump for president in 2016, tells me she had no problem with trump's racist, sexist, bigotry

I suspect this move of hers is similar to the Kanye West move, hoping to get Democratic votes taken away from Newsom. I wouldn't be surprised if she was being paid by the republicans who pushed for this stupid recall which will cost the state significantly.

I don't think the recall will succeed, but if it does, we need to have some Democrats on board, running against the rethugs

1. This "move of hers" is to get publicity and post like this proves it is working.

Publicity = money to the Kardsahian/Jenner klan. Don't feed the beast.

3. A total waste of time. Why would she think she has a shot at all?

So ridiculous in blue California. And the Kanye West strategy failed spectacularly, and she and Pascale should know considering the family connection.

that's about it. And no democrat will run against Newsom, that would be crazy. This whole thing is a huge waste of money, what with elections next year anyway.

Rake in some cash, use it to pay the mortgage (Pence), or advertise a book (Cruz) or do some traveling.
