Republicans in New Hampshire fear Trump will talk up a potential Senate run by Corey Lewandowski during a rally Thursday

“If Corey Lewandowski decides to run, he would significantly shake up the dynamics, attention and energy around the U.S. Senate race in the Granite State,” said Mike Biundo, a New Hampshire-based former Trump campaign aide who has known Lewandowski for nearly two decades. While the White House has been made aware of concerns surrounding Lewandowski, the president has at times been willing to circumvent the wishes of party leadership when it comes to political endorsements. The president broke with party leadership when he endorsed accused child molester Roy Moore during the 2017 Alabama Senate race and when he backed immigration hard-liner Kris Kobach over a sitting incumbent in the 2018 Kansas gubernatorial contest.
Lewandowski, who served as campaign manager on former New Hampshire Sen. Bob Smith’s unsuccessful 2002 reelection campaign, first declared his interest in the Senate race earlier this month. He’s reached out to an array of senior Republicans in the days since to talk about how the race could unfold.
