On Monday, POLITICO published a story claiming that failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris told friends and allies that she would be keeping her options open when it comes to her future in politics. 

Reportedly, this included a 2028 presidential run or to run for governor in her home state of California in 2026. 

“I am staying in the fight,” Harris reportedly said. 

It appears that former Olympian Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner may run against Harris in the California governor’s race. Current Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is not eligible for reelection. 

Jenner previously ran against Newsom in a recall election in 2021.

On Monday, Jenner wrote on X, “MAKE CA GREAT AGAIN” in response to a post claiming that he was considering a gubernatorial bid. 

Jenner then shared several follow-up posts about a possible race against Harris. 

He shared an image of an older post where he stated, “If I ran, and it was ultimately against Harris, I would destroy her.”

Later on, Jenner added, “The MAGA / America First movements are not nearly as bigoted as the intolerant left. If I were to run it would be proudly as a Republican. We are the big tent party and movement of common sense, for ALL!”

“If I ran and if I won DAY ONE: CA would have a @DOGE STATE LEVEL AGENCY! Especially to clean up the homelessness industrial complex!” Jenner concluded.
