Brad Parscale Advising Caitlyn Jenner on Possible Run for California Governor

Former Trump-campaign manager Brad Parscale is advising Caitlyn Jenner on her potential run for California governor, multiple outlets reported on Wednesday.

Parscale is advising Jenner as a “friend” and is not receiving payment for the guidance, a source told CNN. Parscale is reportedly helping Jenner to fill important campaign positions, in case she decides to move ahead with the run.

During the 2016 elections, Parscale worked as the Trump-campaign’s digital director, overseeing digital advertising and certain fundraising roles. The former president promoted Parscale to campaign manager in 2018, however he was replaced in summer 2020 and left the campaign in September following an apparent suicide attempt.

Jenner is reportedly considering a run to replace current Governor Gavin Newsom in a recall election scheduled for the fall, Axios reported on Tuesday. Newsom faces the recall amid growing frustration among Republicans and Democrats in the state over the governor’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
