Corey Lewandowski drops potential Senate run in New Hampshire
Source: CNN
CNN)Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski will not run for Senate in New Hampshire after considering a potential campaign earlier this year, he announced Tuesday.
"After much consideration I have decided to forgo a campaign for the US Senate," he tweeted. "While taking on a career politician from the Washington swamp is a tall order, I am certain I would have won. My priorities remain my family and ensuring that @realDonaldTrump is re-elected POTUS."
Lewandowski, who served as Donald Trump's campaign manager until he was fired in summer 2016 and was considered to lead the White House impeachment team in September, was reportedly mulling a run against New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in 2020. He said Tuesday that he was "humbled by the outpouring of support" he received in New Hampshire and that he would endorse a candidate in the Republican primary in hopes of beating Shaheen.
He had been huddling with New Hampshire political operatives and confidants this summer -- joined in some meetings by his wife -- as he mulled a potential Senate bid in the Granite State, multiple sources familiar with the discussions told CNN at the time. He also appeared to have his former boss's blessing, a voice that could help sway Republican primary voters, just before Lewandowski appeared at a campaign rally in New Hampshire with Trump earlier this year.
