Republicans are pouring money into the recall effort over Newsom’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump supporters in the GOP have dumped over $3.5 million into the initiative and proponents say they have gathered enough signatures to trigger the recall. Former out ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, is allegedly interviewing campaign strategists and talking to potential major donors and will be ready to pounce according to Politico.
Grenell denied the rumor as well.
Until being elevated by former President Donald Trump, Grenell was known as a Twitter troll who regularly attacked women and Democrats. Since leaving the post, he has resumed lobbing insults and lies about political opponents. He has remained an ardent Trump supporter.
Jenner originally supported Trump’s run for office, but quickly cooled on him after he continued to attack transgender people throughout his administration.
