As we told you yesterday, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports some Kentucky Republicans say Jennings is interested in the race.
Jennings has voiced support for Trump's agenda while appearing on CNN.
And Jennings was on stage last night during a President Trump rally in Michigan.
Come here, Scott.
This guy.
Really?
I've watched him for years.
I don't know him, but he likes Trump.
Come here.
Scott.
I'll see you then.
This is the end of Scott.
No.
Who cares?
Don't worry.
We'll take care of you.
Scott.
Scott Jennings really great.
Thank you.
Michigan.
We were flying in here today, and I said, look at these farms.
I got to get a farm in Michigan.
Because when you own as many lives as I do, you got to put a place to put them all.
Thank you all very much.
The Daily Beast quotes Jennings as saying he will run for the U.S. Senate if President Trump wants him to run.
And Jennings says if Trump prefers someone else, Jennings will support that candidate.
On May 9th, Jennings will be part of a Jefferson County Republican Party fundraising event with tickets at $250 apiece.
If Jennings joins the race, he'll face at least two other Republican candidates, and maybe more.
One of those Republicans, Congressman Andy Barr of Kentucky, six district, is raising money with the help of political action committees, or PACs, as they're called, the Kentucky Lantern reports PACs gave Barr $733,000 in January, February, and March.
40% of his total fundraising of 1.8 million.
And the Lantern says he moved about $3.7 million from his house campaign committee and to a new Senate campaign committee.
At the same time, former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron raised $508,000 1000 of it from PACs.
Today, Barr picked up an endorsement from former state Senator and Senate Majority Majority Leader Damon Thayer of Georgetown.
Thayer says Barr has been a model congressman.
He says no one else is more battle tested.
In addition to Barr and Cameron, businessman Nate Morris of Lexington is also considering the race.
