It\u2019s fair to wonder whether Caitlyn Jenner is running for governor of California or filming another reality show. Well, it turns out she\u2019s doing a little bit of both.

The tactic \u2014 which just months ago seemed like a long shot even to liberals \u2014 is now widely seen as President Joe Biden's best shot at confronting one of Washington\u2019s policy leviathans and delivering on a decades-long party promise."\nRaghu Manavalan is the host of POLITICO's Playbook.Jenny Ament is the senior producer for POLITICO Audio.\xa0Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO Audio.
