CNN’s lone conservative commentator Scott Jennings is reportedly considering running for Senate in Kentucky to replace Mitch McConnell. He would be a fantastic choice for this.
Not only is Jennings a conservative, he knows exactly how to deal with the liberal media. His work at CNN has been like a trial by fire.
Jennings is also well known to the people of Kentucky. It’s his home state.
BREAKING: CNN’s Scott Jennings is reportedly considering running for Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat, if Trump wants him to.
Thoughts — would you support Jennings replacing Mitch McConnell in the Senate?

The Daily Beast reported:
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.
“If he wants somebody else, I’ll support that candidate,” said Jennings in his mellifluous, Southern drawl, playing the role of Kentucky statesman in his three-piece tuxedo.
Townhall suggests Jennings would be a lock:
If Republicans want a guaranteed GOP seat in Kentucky, they had better go with Jennings – especially if President Trump endorses him. He’s got the name recognition, rhetorical chops, and understanding of politics that would be needed to help advance Trump’s agenda in the Senate.
In fact, if he does run, and Trump gives his blessing, he is sure to win. In fact, he might not even need to campaign. Okay, that last part was a joke – but I’m not far off. After what seemed to be 80 decades of Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republicans are pining for change – not more of the self-righteous GOP establishment. Jennings appears to fit that bill perfectly.
If Jennings does run, the biggest loser would be CNN. He’s the only reason to watch the network these days.
