Reality TV star and former Olympic athlete Caitlyn Jenner is considering a run for California governor.

According to Axios, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star is reportedly in talks with political consultants.

In February, Jenner's manager, Sophia Hutchins, said her client "has never considered running for governor and is very happy doing the work that she is doing to promote LGBT rights and spending time with her 18 grandchildren and 10 children."

Jenner, 71, came out as transgender in 2015.

But, Axios reports that Jenner is working with veteran GOP fundraiser Caroline Wren, who previously worked for a joint fundraising committee for former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign.

Governor Gavin Newsom is currently facing the possibility of a recall election in the fall.

In a recent poll conducted by Nexstar Media Group‘s six California Television Stations along with Emerson College, Californians are split on their feelings about Governor Newsom, just as the recall efforts are underway.

Newsom is up for re-election in 2022.
