It’s been almost half a century since Jenner’s fame-making Olympic triumph and well more than a decade after the start of another supercharged star turn in one of the most popular reality television shows of all time. Now, six years after a hyper-publicized coming out as a transgender woman , Jenner, 71, wants to replace Democrat Gavin Newsom in California’s pending gubernatorial recall election.
Longtime political experts from all over, and from both parties, deduce she has next to no chance. They point to the incongruity of a transgender Republican in a deep-blue state, her utter absence of electoral experience, her rocky, contradictory interviews, her flimsy policy platform and the inauspicious polling in paltry single digits despite her sky-high name ID. They deem her candidacy a cross between a cash-grab scheme and a publicity stunt. “A celebrity fling,” said California Democratic strategist Garry South. “Rampant narcissism,” said fellow Democratic operative Katie Merrill. “This,” said GOP consultant Mike Madrid, “isn’t a real campaign.”
But Jenner and people close to Jenner insist that it is. In spite of her mostly apolitical past, this fledgling effort, they say, couldn’t be more real. It’s one of the most authentic things Jenner has ever done, they say, if only because she’s now more authentic than she’s ever been.
