Former Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski’s new political action committee will target the 10 Republicans who joined the Democrats in voting to impeach President Donald Trump.
“These 10 House members have to have accountability at the end of the day, I believe,” Lewandowski told WMUR. “The one big vote is obviously the vote to impeach the president.”
“You have to look at individual districts,” he added. “I’ve had a number of conversations with candidates who want to run against these individuals to hold them accountable for their vote against the president.”
“Our PAC is designed to focus on districts that will allow us to obtain and expand our majority in Congress and also focus on those candidates who, if you win a Republican primary, will ensure that the likelihood of losing the district is very slim,” Lewandowski said.
New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District seat could be among those districts next year, he added.
Lewandowski said he is still interested in running for governor but noted that he would not challenge Republican Gov. Chris Sununu if he ran for re-election. Lewandowski also said he has “zero interest” in running for the U.S. Senate.
“Until Gov. Sununu makes his decision on what he’s going to do, I’m going to continue to focus on raising money and helping people around the country,” Lewandowski said. “If and when the governor decides he’s going to do something different, I would look at that.”
Would Lewandowski run for the U.S. Senate?
“I have no interest in serving in federal elective office in Washington, D.C. None – zero,” he said.
Lewandowski said that former President Donald Trump is likely “a little disheartened” by President Joe Biden’s flurry of executive orders dismantling Trump’s agenda.
“I think the president is concerned about seeing all of the work he’s been able to do over the past four years to rebuild our economy, rebuild our military and put America first being undone,” Lewandowski said.
“I don’t speak for the president, but I speak with him. I think it is a massive transition from being the leader of the free world to being a private citizen.”
