Fans of Keeping Up With the Kardashians are wondering which members of the Kar-Jenner family will run for office next. The speculation comes amid Caitlyn Jenner's recent campaign announcement. The show alum is the second family member to launch a political campaign. Kanye West, who is divorcing Kim Kardashian, was the first.
It was less than a year ago when Kanye West made a run for president. He ran as an Independent and hosted a controversial campaign that is considered the catalyst for his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Now, Caitlyn is running for Governor of California as a proud Republican. Her political views have been rubbing some of her family members the wrong way. There is speculation that Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé Kardashian will not support Caitlyn's campaign, and a lot of fans are saying "no" to it, too. KUWTK fans are wondering if Caitlyn's daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner will support her. They are also curious as to whether Kris Jenner will pledge support to her ex.
When looking at the family's endeavors, Kim Kardashian appears to be the next in line for a potential campaign run. She has spent the last few years fighting for prison reform. She worked closely with the Trump administration to get certain convicted criminals released from prison. Her advocacy work has helped her to build relationships with prominent social justice advocates, including Van Jones and rapper Meek Mill. The SKIMS founder has been studying to obtain a law degree.
Most recently, Caitlyn spoke out fiercely against prison reform. It was a move that Kim likely found disturbing. Kim and Caitlyn have reportedly spoken about prison reform in private, so Kim was probably taken aback by Caitlyn speaking so strongly against it. Kim's political ties and liberal views differ from Caitlyn's. Considering how seriously Kim takes her prison reform work, a future in politics doesn't seem too far-fetched. She stayed married to Kanye during his campaign but they reportedly lived separate lives.
The KKW Beauty founder was strategic in terms of never publicly expressing support for Kanye's campaign. Since Kim is discreet, if she's thinking about a political run, she does have the capacity to keep it secret until the right time. Her transition into prison reform advocacy has also helped her to clean up her image.
In the past, she was often viewed as a reality star with a love of fame and fortune. When Kim started her advocacy work, fans began to see her working for a cause that benefited others, rather than herself. She's the only one among her famous siblings who crusades for social justice. This might hint at Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kim's future political goals.
