CA-GOV: Grenell (R) says he discussed possible California governor campaign with Trump [View all]
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.”
