The Kardashians will NOT hit campaign trail for Caitlyn Jenner after she announced bid for Governor

The Kardashians won’t be making an appearance on the campaign trail for Caitlyn Jenner, after she announced a bid for Governor of California on Friday April 23. 

A source close to the family told TMZ that although the family was given a heads up ahead of Jenner’s ‘Caitlyn for California’ announcement, they aren’t keen to play politics and don’t agree with her more right-leaning views. 

It has been said that Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian will not publicly endorse anyone else, including sitting Governor Gavin Newsom, who could be removed in a recall. 

Caitlyn announced her bid by way of a Twitter press release where she called herself a longtime ‘compassionate disrupter,’ while labeling Newsom’s time as governor ‘disastrous.’ 

And although she said she’d be making a more formal announcement in coming weeks, in her soft pitch she sold herself as a longtime California resident with a ‘clear vision’ for the state. 

‘California has been my home for nearly 50 years. I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality. But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people. Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision.’

Her campaign seems to be a touchy situation for the sisters all around, who have long found themselves in the middle since she and Kris Jenner split.

As seen on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the family is still navigating their relationship with the I Am Cait star who dragged Kris’ name through the mud in both her Vanity Fair cover and her memoir.    

And despite Kim’s activity in the political space and her good rapport with former GOP President Donald Trump with regards to prison reform, the family has leaned Democrat for the most part. 

In 2012, Kim described herself as a ‘liberal Republican’ in conversation with The Guardian, but said she tends to vote Democrat.  

She had backed President Obama, and vowed to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016, but a statement that was attributed to Kim in conversation with Wonderland Magazine made it known she was ‘on the fence.’  

‘At first I thought, “Oh my God, I’m so Hillary [Clinton]”, but I had a long political call with Caitlyn last night about why she’s voting Trump. I’m on the fence,’ she told the magazine. 

Note: The statement was cited in context on The Evening Standard website, but it never appeared in the online or print version of Kim’s spread.   

And when now estranged spouse Kanye West made a bizarre bid for president in the summer of 2020 under the ‘Birthday Party’ no members of the family — including Kim — publicly endorsed him.
