Caitlyn Jenner running for governor of California is ‘not a big surprise’ to Kardashians: report

The 71-year-old decathlete and reality star, who won a gold medal at the 1976 Olympic Games, had long considered a play for politics before finally dipping her toe in the waters on Friday.

"Caitlyn has been vocal about wanting to get involved in politics for quite some time now," the insider said. "While the family may not be entirely aligned politically speaking, they ultimately want Caitlyn to be happy and fulfilled." Jenner, a Republican, announced her intention to run for governor of California against Democratic Gov. Gavin Newson, who faces a likely-looming recall election later this year.
