Corey Lewandowski suggests he won't run for Senate after all: “It is my priority to make sure the president of United States is reelected”
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Corey Lewandowski told a local radio host Tuesday "it's fair" to say he is reconsidering a Senate run to defend President Donald Trump from impeachment and help him get reelected.
"As much as I think I would be a great fighter for the people of New Hampshire, and one U.S. senator can make a difference, it is my priority to make sure the president of United States is reelected," Lewandowski said on the radio show, "New Hampshire Today with Jack Heath." "That's a top priority.
In an interview with POLITICO, the radio host said it seemed apparent Lewandowksi is not going to run. He had expected Lewandowski to announce on his show in the past week or two, though Lewandwoski has also said he would announce on "Fox & Friends" and potentially during his testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee.Lewandowski, who has been floating a bid for Senate since September, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The state's Democratic Party has been closely monitoring Lewandowski's public statements since began floating a run. “With or without Corey Lewandowski, New Hampshire Republicans are in a nasty primary among candidates all committed to protecting a corrupt President determined to take away health care from thousands of people in the Granite State," party spokesman Joshua Marcus-Blank said.
