Caitlyn Jenner has interview with Fox News correspondent Tomi Lahren in her native Malibu

Caitlyn Jenner was snapped in Malibu on Thursday amid her gubernatorial run in her home state of California to supplant Gov. Gavin Newsom, arriving to the restaurant Kristy’s as she was set to interview with Fox News correspondent Tomi Lahren.

The Republican candidate, 71, donned a brown suede coat over a white top with blue jeans and matching suede boots with chunky heels. The 1976 Summer Olympics decathlon winner wore brown sunglasses with her brown locks parted and carried a black leather purse.

The I Am Cait star was accompanied by confidante Sophia Hutchins, 25, on the outing.

On the campaign trail: Caitlyn Jenner, 71, was snapped in Malibu on Thursday amid her gubernatorial run in her home state of California to supplant Gov. Gavin Newsom, arriving to the restaurant Kristy’s as she was set to interview with Tomi Lahren, 28 

Hutchins looked sleek in a grey patterned jacket over a white top with black leather pants and matching heels. She wore black sunglasses and her blonde locks down and parted.

Caitlyn on Tuesday was panned on Twitter earlier this week after posting a message in support of Pride Month, less than a month after she told TMZ she didn’t believe trans girls should be allowed to compete in girls’ athletic competitions.

She said at the time, ‘I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls’ sports in school; it just isn’t fair. And we have to protect girls’ sports in our schools.’

On Tuesday, Jenner tweeted, ‘As we celebrate #Pride2021 in June, let’s honor those who have fought for LGBTQ rights but also be reminded of the challenges we must still overcome.’

Lahren previously pledged her support for Jenner’s campaign last month, saying she’s ‘in her corner’ after initial skepticism of ‘Jenner’s ability to run the state’

Lahren tweeted a shot of the interview for Fox News 

She added, ‘We must continue to empower those in the community and fight against all forms of discrimination.’

She received a number of responses criticizing her earlier take, as one user wrote, ‘Trans people should be able to play sports as who they identify as. Shame on you for not speaking out on this.’

Another user said, ‘As you try and discriminate against our LBGTQ youth and ban them from sports – shame on you!’ 

Jenner announced her candidacy for the election via Twitter in April 

Jenner announced her candidacy for the election via Twitter in April. In a statement she issued, Jenner said she was focused on issues such as boosting the economy, tax breaks and a position against the state’s left-leaning policies, touting herself as ‘the only potential candidate ‘who can put an end to Gavin Newsom’s disastrous time as governor.’

Lahren, 28, previously pledged her support for Jenner’s campaign last month in an Instagram post in which she’s ‘in her corner’ after initial skepticism of ‘Jenner’s ability to run the state.’

The conservative commentator said that ‘after hearing her platform of FREEDOM above everything,’ she pledged her support for the former Keeping Up with the Kardashians personality.

‘I don’t care what pronouns she uses or what lifestyle she choose to live, I believe in someone willing to fight for America and someone who understands limited government is the only way to ensure freedom,’ Lahren wrote. ‘I stand with Caitlyn and I can’t wait to watch her give Greasy Gavin a run for his money! Let’s go!

Competition Jenner faces within the Republican party San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, businessman John Cox and former Rep. Doug Ose, all three of whom polled better than Jenner in a recent survey of California voters from UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and the Los Angeles Times.

Faulconer and Cox got 22 percent of those polled, Ose got 14 percent and Jenner got six percent.
