Caitlyn Jenner is contemplating running for seat in the Senate

CAITLYN Jenner went from the Olympics to reality television to… politics?

That’s a strong possibility, according to the 1976 gold medal-winning decathlete, who told a talk radio host she was looking into running for the US Senate.

“The political side of it has always been very intriguing to me,” Jenner said. “Over the next six months or so, I’ve got to find out where I can do a better job. Can I do a better job from the outside, kind of working the perimeter of the political side, being open to talk to anybody? Or are you better off from the inside? We are in the process of determining that. Yeah, but I would look for a senatorial run.”

Jenner, a lifelong Republican, did not offer any details regarding a possible timeline but she could make a run for Democrat Dianne Feinstein’s seat, which will be up for grabs next year. Feinstein, 84, has not said whether she plans to run for re-election.

Jenner has become vocal about her political position since coming out as transgender in 2015. She’s embraced becoming a spokesperson for the transgender community, which has led her to challenge some of the Republican Party’s more socially conservative positions. Last year, for example, Jenner came out against a controversial measure in North Carolina that would require transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificates. The law was eventually repealed. Jenner, however, still sees problems with the Republican Party, which she blamed on “perception”. “In the United States, the perception of the Democrats is they’re pro-equality, pro-LGBT and this and that. And the perception of the Republican Party is they’re all about rich white guys trying to make money. “I would hope in the next generation… we can change the perception of the Republican Party and make it the party of equality,” Jenner said.
