Trump Lewandowski’s long -standing ally flirts with a main challenge against the GOP governor


President Donald Trump’s first campaign director and a long -standing ally, Corey Lewandowski, has been a main challenge next year against Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.

“Everyone says that being governor is the best work of politics. I agree,” Lewandowski wrote in an article on social networks Thursday evening.

Lewandowski news occurs while Trump’s political team seems to increase heat on Ayotte about its resistance to the president’s thrust for rediscovery in mid-December to protect the fragile majority of the GOP during the mid-term elections of the GOP.

Some state republican legislators are interested in redistribution to make the first district of the New Hampshire Congress more suited to the GOP. Democrats checked the two seats in the American Chamber of the State for almost a decade.

And it is possible that the New Hampshire legislature under the control of the New Hampshire adopts and sends to the Office of Ayotte a draft bill at the beginning of next year.

The predecessor of Ayotte, former governor Chris Sununu, three years ago, opposed his veto to a new map of the congress adopted by the Republicans of State.

The current governor has pushed the Rediscussing pressure campaign.

“I don’t think the timing is good for redistribution. And as I look at where we are and the things we should focus on, it’s not something I support at this stage,” Ayotte told WMUR-TV last month.

The Ayotte team did not respond to a request for comments from Fox News.

A long -standing political republican political strategist based in New Hampshire told Fox News: “This comes back to know if the president is seriously interested in modifying the outcome of this race. We will know that a potential race would be serious if we hear the White House that the president leads this train.”

“Otherwise, I think it is more a case of shooting through the governor’s arc to attract his attention in the hope of making him actively consider the signature of the legislation which would change the districts of the congress in the New Hampshire,” added the strategist, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely.

Two states dominated by the Republicans, Texas and Missouri, have already adopted new cards from the Congress which combined could swing six seats from the Maison du Bleu à Rouge. And almost half a dozen other right states are considering similar movements, after lobbying the president and his team.

This is part of a wide effort of the GOP to fill its majority with a thin house such as the razor to keep control of the room halfway up next year, when the power party traditionally faces political opposites and loses seats.

Trump and his political team aim to prevent what happened during his first mandate in the White House, when the Democrats recovered the majority of the room in the 2018 mid-term elections.

The publication of Lewandowski’s social media has followed a Politico report that he was considering a governor race next year. Republican sources have confirmed Fox News.

The resident of Windham, in the NH, was Director of Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential primaries before being replaced during the general electoral campaign. But Lewandowski has remained close to Trump over the years, has held positions of principal advisor in the 2020 and 2024 campaigns and remains in regular contact with the president.

Lewandowski, who for years was a high -level external advisor to the Governor of Southern Dakota Kristi Noem, is now a senior advisor to the Department of Internal Security (DHS), where Noem is the secretary of the Trump DHS.

This is not the first time that Lewandowski has planned a state -of -scale race in New Hampshire. During the 2020 electoral cycle, he flirted with a race for the Senate against the Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen.

And at the beginning of 2021, he teased a possible 2022 race for the Governor’s months before the launch by the popular governor of the GOP Chris Sununu of his successful candidacy. New Hampshire, as well as Vermont, are the only two states in the country to organize governors every two years.

“I have known Corey for a long time. If he’s passionate about something, then he will fight until the end to get it and I think he is passionate about the inhabitants of New Hampshire and being governor is probably the best way to serve them,” the 2016 campaign of 2016 campaign and who is a veteran of Trump’s administration, told Fox News on Thursday.

While Lewandowski would likely seize Maga World’s support if he presented himself to the post of governor, his past political luggage could return to injure him.

After facing allegations, he made unwanted sexual advances to the woman of a republican donor during a charitable event in 2021, he was expelled from his job towards a Super PAC pro-Trump. Lewandowski then concluded an agreement with the prosecutors in the case after being accused of offense.

Trump spokesperson said at the time that Lewandowski “will no longer be associated with Trump World.”

And Noem’s spokesperson at the time said Lewandowski “would not advise the governor with regard to the campaign or the official office.”

But he quickly set up on the political orbits of Trump and Noem.

Lewandowski was also charged in 2016 after shooting a journalist’s arm during a Trump campaign event, but the accusations were then abandoned.

The Democratic Party of New Hampshire aimed in Lewandowski and Ayotte in a statement.

“Corey Lewandowski and Kelly Ayotte are the two sides of the same extreme room: republican restaurants that have no problem bending on the knee for Donald Trump and let him ride families in New Hampshire,” said the president of the longtime state party Ray Buckley.
