New Hampshire Republicans to Corey Lewandowski: Stay Away From the Senate
Republicans in New Hampshire have some advice for Corey Lewandowski: stay away from the Senate.
Lewandowski, a bombastic figure who served as President Trump’s first campaign manager during the 2016 election, is being pressured by several people in the Trump administration to challenge Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and is expected to talk directly with the president in the coming days, two sources directly familiar with the upcoming discussions told The Daily Beast. Lewandowski recently said he’s seriously considering the idea.
But Granite State GOPers were quick to offer words of caution to Lewandowski: if you run, you’re directly contributing to Shaheen’s re-election effort. “It makes me extremely nervous,” one senior Republican advisor in the state said. “He is as much of a shadow of the president as you can find. That will hurt us down ballot.”
