Caitlyn Jenner, a California Republican gubernatorial candidate, is suggesting “we have moved forward” beyond former President Donald Trump.
CNN’s Dana Bash asked Jenner is she believes President Joe Biden was “duly elected.”
“He is our president. I respect that,” Jenner said. “There’s a lot of frustration over that election. You know what? I’m frustrated over what happened back then.”
Asked if she believes the 2020 presidential election was “stolen,” Jenner responded, “No, I believe in the system.” She also called for “integrity” in the U.S. election system.
Jenner added, “I’m not going to go in the past. You know, we’re in a post-Trump era.”
“Are we though? I don’t think he believes that,” Bash replied, to which Jenner said, “We have moved forward.”
