(CNN) California Republican gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner said she favors granting a path to citizenship to the 1.75 million undocumented immigrants in the state's labor force, staking out a position that is more progressive than many voters in the GOP base nationally and at odds with former President Donald Trump, who Jenner supported until 2018. ET Monday night, Jenner said that she decided to challenge California Gov. What's been happening on the border was honestly one of the reasons I decided to run for governor," Jenner said in the interview. "I was watching people dying come across the river, kids in cages -- whatever you want to call them." They are just great people and I would fight for them to be US citizens," Jenner replied.
