CNN political contributor Scott Jennings suggested that he may run for Sen. Mitch McConnell's seat if President Trump asks him.
When asked on Real America's Voice on Wednesday if he was considering running for McConnell's Senate seat next year since the senator isn't seeking reelection, Jennings said, “Yeah, I haven’t made any announcements about that,” Mediaite reported.
“There’s three people in the race, I know them all, like them all, I've been in and out of their lives in varying degrees over the years. I’ve supported them all in various endeavors, so I’m confident the seat will remain Republican.”
Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and businessman Nate Morris are all running for McConnell's Senate seat.
“I do think politics is a team sport, and I think Trump’s the head coach,” also said Jennings, who has for months teased a run. “And eventually he’s gonna weigh in on this, and my political advice would be to anybody, you know, if he calls a play, we’re gonna have to run it. I wouldn’t want to run against the president in Kentucky. So, I don’t really have any announcement about it at the moment.”
After being asked if he'd run should Trump ask him to, Jennings, a former special assistant to former President George W. Bush, said, “I pay very close attention to everything the president says.”
Good.
Trading Mitch for Scott would like trading a tent for a Mansion.
If Jennings can remain anemetic all this time while surrounded by CNN clowns, he’s got something powerful going for him.
Cannot wait to get a real human in to replace McDorkell.
Not a bad alternative at all.! Anybody’s better the turtle
If trump asks? Ridiculous! Trump doesn’t run the senate. I hope he doesn’t run as he can’t make a decision without a Daddy figure doing it for him. Very sad and gross.
