The road to a U.S. Senate seat is long, arduous, and sometimes unexpected to those who come to fill its seats. One potential contender to fill the seat being left behind by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) may never have thought about the prospect until now.
Allies are privately encouraging Scott Jennings, the combative and conservative CNN personality, to keep his options open for 2026, when Republicans will compete to replace the former U.S. Senate majority leader. McConnell last week announced he would not seek reelection, capping nearly five decades in elected office and his tenure as the longest-serving leader of a party’s Senate caucus in the nation’s history.
Sources close to Jennings told Fox News that he hasn’t ruled it out, while his supporters in the media are expressing their excitement about the possibility of a Senator Jennings.
