Caitlyn Jenner said she would 'support' Trump if he ran for president in 2024
- Caitlyn Jenner said she would "support" Trump if he ran for reelection in 2024 in an interview on Fox News.
- Jenner is running for governor of California against Gov. Gavin Newsom.
- Her remarks come as she recently said she does not want to be endorsed by Trump.
California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner said she "would support" Donald Trump if the former president runs for election in 2024 in an interview on Fox News' "Justice with Judge Jeanine" Saturday.
"If I was governor of the state of California.. obviously, I would support him," Jenner said.
Jenner, a transgender woman, announced her run for governor of California against Gov. Gavin Newsom in April.
"Californians want better and deserve better from their governor. For too long, career politicians have overpromised and underdelivered. We need a leader with a vision and the resolve to see it through," Jenner said in a statement in April. "This will be a campaign of solutions, providing a roadmap back to prosperity to turn this state around and finally clean up the damage Newsom has done to this state."
The show's host, Jeanine Pirro, pressed Jenner on whether she would support Trump if she isn't elected governor of California.
"What if you weren't governor, would you still support him?" Pirro asked.
"Yes, I still would support him," Jenner, who is running as Republican, responded. "I do not like what's happening in this country right now."
Jenner supported Trump but later condemned the former president for his position on LGBTQ issues, as Insider's Joshua Zitser reported. Earlier this month, the reality TV star said she does not want Trump to support her campaign.
In addition, she also faced backlash after her remarks that trans girls shouldn't be allowed to play girl's sports. In an interview with Insider, trans Delaware State Senator Sarah McBride said she does not see Jenner's campaign "as positive."
