CNN commentator Scott Jennings teased an announcement regarding a potential Senate campaign for Mitch McConnell's seat, implying support from former President Trump. He stated that he would run if Trump desires it, otherwise, he would back another candidate. Jennings' previous roles include serving under McConnell and President Bush, and he has recently positioned himself as a prominent Trump defender on CNN. His relationship with Trump is complex, having been critical during the 2024 primaries, but now he's frequently sparring with liberal counterparts in defense of Trump.
Something big is coming. Stay tuned, wrote Jennings in a post on X that included a picture of him standing next to President Donald Trump, who is holding a document with its contents blurred out.
If the president wants me, I'll run for the seat that McConnell is retiring from, adding that, If he wants somebody else, I'll support that candidate.
We have a man here that I don't know, but he's defending me all the time on CNN. He defends me really well, but he can't go too far or he'll get fired.
Jennings has emerged as one of the president's most ubiquitous and steadfast defenders on television news, frequently sparring with his more liberal colleagues on CNN.
