In an interview with Fox News on Saturday, Caitlyn Jenner pledged her support for Donald Trump if he decides to run for president in 2024.
In April, Jenner announced her intention to run as a Republican candidate in the California recall election against Gov. Gavin Newsom. This election is set for September 14.

Speaking on Fox’s Justice with Judge Jeanine this weekend, when asked about the possibility of Trump running again, Jenner said, “If I were Governor of the State of California, obviously I would support him.”
Show host Jeanine Pirro then asked Jenner if she would support Trump if she wasn’t governor.
“Yes, I would always support him. I don’t like what’s going on in this country right now.

Jenner publicly backed Trump in 2016, but has since criticized his stance on LGBTQ issues, particularly his attempts to ban trans people from the military. Obviously, it didn’t bother her that much.
Although she supports Trump, Jenner has previously said she does not seek his support in return.
At a press conference on July 10, Jenner was asked if she would seek Trump’s approval. She replied, “No,” before adding: “I am a private citizen of the State of California, I have every right in the world to be able to run for this position and I am on the Republican side, obviously I am on the Republican side. But don’t put me in that box, like you’re in that “you’re a Republican, you have to think that way” box.

Trump has yet to announce whether he intends to run again in 2024, but has strongly hinted that he may.
The former president told Fox News on Sunday, July 11, “I know my answer but I can’t reveal it yet because it has to do with campaign funding and everything in between. But I absolutely know my answer. We are going to do very well and people are going to be very happy.
