Jennings, 47, who grew up in western Kentucky and attended the University of Louisville, as did McConnell, was a longtime aide and adviser to the senior senator from his home state.
United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday, during his 100-day rally, called CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings to the stage, where he delivered a pointed critique of Democrats. Trump praised Jennings' defence of him on CNN, noting, "He defends me all the time on CNN, and he defends me well, but he can't go too far because he'll get fired." The president playfully remarked about Jennings' CNN future as he welcomed the 47-year-old to the podium during the Warren, Michigan rally marking his second term's first 100 days.
CNN pundit Scott Jennings is mulling a run to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), according to a new report, but he’s waiting to hear first from President Trump.
