Iconic Olympic athlete and television personality Caitlyn Jenner released her first official campaign video targeting failed California Governor Gavin Newsom this week; saying “career politicians and their policies” have destroyed the Golden State.
“California was once the envy of the world, we had what everyone else wanted. The American dream grew up here. Yet, career politicians have destroyed that dream. It’s been locked away, closed, shuttered, burned down,” said Jenner.
“The government is now involved in every part of our lives. They’ve taken our money, our jobs, and our freedom,” she added. “I came here with a dream 48 years ago to be the greatest athlete in the world. Now I enter a different kind of race. My most important one yet: To Save California.”

“We never take kindly to glass ceilings here. Instead, we shatter them. We’re the trailblazers and the innovators. We need leaders who are unafraid to leap to new heights,” concluded Jenner. “California, it’s time to re-open the Golden Gates.”

TOTAL RECALL: Newsom Says Recall Effort Has Enough Signatures, Eating Out Was ‘Terrible Mistake’
California Governor Gavin Newsom admitted the obvious during an interview with ‘The View’ Tuesday; saying it “appears” there are now enough signatures to force a mandatory recall vote and potentially oust him from office.
“Am I worried about it? Of course I’m worried about it,” Newsom said. “The nature of these things, the up or down question, the zero-sum nature of the question is challenging…so we’re taking it seriously.”

“This one appears to have the requisite signatures,” the Democratic governor said.
“I’ve only been in office 25 months, just 25 months there’s been six efforts to put a recall on the ballot. This one appears to have the requisite signatures. This started before the pandemic,” he said. “If you look at the list of grievances from the proponents of this campaign, it goes to our values, it’s less about me, it’s more about California and our values, Democratic Party values.”
“I have to do my job every single day, but I’m gonna fight this thing because I’m gonna fight for California values and the things I hold dear,” he added.
