Celebrity Caitlyn Jenner is appearing to eye another run for California governor.
Jenner, a longtime supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, asked her followers on social media platform X whether she should run for governor in 2026 after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term is done. She lost her long-shot bid for the governorship during the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election, where voters ultimately chose not to recall Newsom.
“Should we do it again? Have been getting a lot of calls with a lot of strong opinions. Newscum is out in 2026,” she said on X.
This comes as speculation has been swirling over what Vice President Kamala Harris’s future holds after her definitive loss to Trump earlier this month. She is reportedly “instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open” and that she doesn’t plan to step away from politics, according to reporting from Politico.
“… Whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, ‘I am staying in the fight,’” per the report.
Jenner, a Republican, went on to troll Harris later on Monday, saying that she would defeat her in a hypothetical matchup for the California governorship.
“Of I ran, and it was ultimately against Harris, I would destroy her,” Jenner wrote on X.
Despite Jenner expressing confidence that she would beat Harris, the former Olympian got just 1 percent of the votes in the 2021 recall election in the deep-blue state of California. When one social media user noted that Jenner lost already, Jenner said that recall elections are different than general elections.
“Recalls are quite different. Times are also quite different. But ofc point taken,” she said on X.
Neither Jenner or Harris has committed to running for the 2026 gubernatorial race. Since the end of the 2024 election, Harris has remained out of the spotlight and has been spending time with family in Hawaii.
