CNN’s Scott Jennings has become an unexpected conservative hero for regularly humiliating the left-wing commentators on the network’s panels.
He just broke huge news.
Because Scott Jennings turned heads when he dropped this bombshell about Mitch McConnell’s replacement.
CNN’s MAGA star stuns reporters with Senate tease
Donald Trump’s favorite CNN warrior just hinted at a major career change.
The political world can’t stop talking about what might happen next.
For months, speculation has been building that Jennings might take a shot at Kentucky’s Senate seat.
When confronted about these rumors at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Jennings delivered a response that set Washington ablaze.
“Man, the internet’s a crazy place. Long way until next May,” Jennings told Fox News Digital on Saturday. “I read all this with some amusement, but again, it’s a long way until next year.”
His non-denial sent shockwaves through the political establishment.
The Fox News Digital report confirms rumors that began swirling back in February when they first revealed Jennings was being encouraged to run.
The Lexington Herald-Leader piled on last Friday, reporting that Jennings is seriously considering throwing his hat in the ring.
Trump turns CNN defender into a national sensation
President Trump has clearly noticed Jennings’ fearless defense of America First policies on the liberal CNN network.
Trump stunned the crowd at his 100-day rally in Michigan on Tuesday by bringing Jennings to the stage.
“We have a man here that I don’t know, but he’s defending me all the time on CNN. And he defends me really well, but he can’t go too far because if he goes too far he’ll get fired,” Trump told thousands of cheering supporters.
When handed the microphone, Jennings absolutely destroyed the Left with one brutal line.
“I got to get a farm in Michigan, because when you own as many Libs as I do, you gotta get a place to put ’em all!” Jennings declared to thunderous applause.
The moment perfectly captured why Jennings has become a conservative sensation – he fearlessly takes on the liberal media elite and leaves them speechless.
Kentucky Senate race heating up fast
The battle to replace McConnell is already attracting major Republican talent.
Rep. Andy Barr and former Kentucky Attorney General David Cameron have officially jumped into the race.
Kentucky businessman Nate Morris, who reportedly maintains close ties to Vice President J.D. Vance, is reportedly considering joining the fray as well.
And there’s still a chance conservative stalwart Rep. Thomas Massie could join the fray.
On the Democrat side, Kentucky House Minority Leader Pamela Stevenson is running a campaign that seems doomed from the start.
Trump dominated Kentucky in November’s election, confirming it remains solidly Republican territory despite having a Democrat Governor, Andy Beshear.
Jennings pledges total loyalty to Trump agenda
What’s making conservatives so excited about a potential Jennings candidacy is his unshakable commitment to President Trump.
“Kentucky has benefited from having Republican senators for a long time,” Jennings told Fox News Digital, before dropping this bombshell: “I think the Senate seat ought to be in the hands ultimately of somebody who’s going to help Donald Trump execute on the president’s agenda.”
Jennings didn’t stop there, making it crystal clear that Trump’s blessing would be the deciding factor.
“And frankly, I think politics is a team sport. The president’s the head of our team, and I think eventually he’ll need to weigh in here on who he thinks is the best to help him execute on his agenda,” Jennings declared.
The message couldn’t be clearer – Jennings would be a Trump warrior in the Senate, not another establishment RINO.
From political insider to America First fighter
Before becoming CNN’s token conservative, Jennings worked in the George W. Bush administration and founded RunSwitch, “Kentucky’s largest PR and public affairs firm.”
His meteoric rise in MAGA circles comes from his ability to calmly dismantle liberal talking points on CNN, often leaving progressive panelists stunned into silence.
Jennings was even considered a potential candidate for White House press secretary before Karoline Leavitt secured the position.
The 83-year-old McConnell announced in February he wouldn’t seek reelection after holding the seat since the 1980s.
McConnell’s complicated relationship with Trump has been well-documented, with the two often clashing despite occasional moments of cooperation.
Jennings represents the new wave of Trump-aligned Republicans who are transforming the GOP from an establishment party into a populist America First movement.
Whether Jennings ultimately runs or not, his statement sends a clear message – Kentucky’s next Senator will be a full-throated defender of the Trump agenda, not another swamp creature.
