CA-GOV: Grenell (R) says he discussed possible California governor campaign with Trump

Richard Grenell, President Trump’s envoy for special missions and interim Kennedy Center director, said he has spoken with the president about potentially launching a gubernatorial campaign in California.

“I talked to the president yesterday,” Grenell told Politico when asked if the recent unrest in California over demonstrations against Trump’s immigration policies have pushed him closer to a run for governor.

He did not offer any details of his conversation with Trump but told the outlet in an interview set to air Sunday that he is waiting to see if former Vice President Kamala Harris launches her own bid to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).

“If Kamala runs, I think there’s a whole bunch of Republicans who are going to have to take a look at it, not just me,” Grenell said. “If she runs, it is going to make me have to take a look at it. Right now, I’m not running for governor.”

Grenell???



Orange Anus must think the secret sauce to winning in CA is being good looking and friend of gays….

Grenell is a scary mofo and wouldn’t have a chance in CA - not against someone like Newsom - and since Newsom can’t run again - likely against Kamala Harris or someone else of such caliber.

in California in the aftermath of Wilson's strong support for Proposition 187 which killed Wilson's 1996 Presidential run in the Republican Nazi Party. These racist Dumbfucks in the Republican Nazi Party never learn!

Alienated Latino Voters: Prop 187 was widely perceived as anti-immigrant and racist, particularly by the Latino community. This significantly hurt the Republican Party's image and led to a long-term shift of Latino voters towards the Democratic Party.
Shifted the State's Political Landscape: The measure is considered a major factor in California's transformation from a swing state to a reliably Democratic one.
Continued Legacy of Division: The sentiments behind Prop 187 continue to be a source of division within the Republican Party and have been echoed in national immigration debates.
