CBSN
Former Olympic athlete and transgender reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner announced on Friday that she has filed the initial paperwork to run for governor of California as a Republican. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is likely to face a recall election later this year.
"For the past decade we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people," Jenner, 71, said in a statement. "I am a proven winner and the only outsider who can put an end to Gavin Newsom's disastrous time as governor." She has assembled a team of veteran GOP operatives, including Ryan Erwin, who's worked on national and statewide campaigns for years, and Jenner's new campaign website is built by Nucleus, a company run by Brad Parscale, who was President Trump's campaign manager for part of 2020 and digital director in 2016.Billions of cicadas are emerging across about 16 states in the Southeast and Midwest. Periodical cicadas used to reliably emerge every 13 or 17 years, depending on their brood. But in a warming world where spring conditions arrive sooner, climate change is messing with the bugs' internal alarm clocks.
