Scott Jennings Just Dropped a Major Hint About His Political Future That Has Everyone Talking
Politics,Scott Jennings,Kentucky,US Senate
CNN’s Scott Jennings, the bane of leftist punditry on the network, is reportedly considering a run for the Senate.
Jennings, a former GOP strategist, has become a rock star of sorts on the right, with many right-leaning outlets regularly featuring his many brutal takedowns of his leftist counterparts.
But he could be looking to become Kentucky’s next senator after Sen. Mitch McConnell rides off into the sunset next year, according to The Daily Beast.
You can see it on his face and hear it in his voice. The network’s token conservative commentator would love to be the next senator from his home state of Kentucky. But when might he get around to announcing whether he’s waging a 2026 campaign?
“If the president wants me, I’ll run,” Jennings told a Swamp tipster at a bougie espresso martini-swilling party at the Swiss ambassador’s residence following the White House Correspondents’ bash on Saturday.
