Corey Lewandowski has decided to forgo a US Senate campaign in New Hampshire and put his efforts into helping Trump get reelected in 2020:
(1/3) After much consideration I have decided to forgo a campaign for the US Senate. While taking on a career politician from the Washington swamp is a tall order, I am certain I would have won. My priorities remain my family and ensuring that @realDonaldTrump is re-elected POTUS

(2/3) I am truly humbled by the outpouring of support I have received from people across New Hampshire and the country.
NH needs a US Senator who will put our citizens first and not illegal aliens; one who will support pro-growth policies to keep the Trump economy strong;

(3/3) One who will support strict constitutionalist judges; and one who will fight for our values, not those of Washington, DC. Accordingly, I will be making an endorsement in the Republican Primary for US Senate in the near future to ensure we defeat Jeanne Shaheen in 2020.

I know he’s confident he would have won, and there was a poll in September that had him leading in the primary. But winning in New Hampshire against an incumbent Democrat would be a tough road to sled.
As a side note, I appreciate that Lewandowski said “constitutionalist judges” in his third tweet and not “conservative judges”. They are only ‘conservative’ in that they are constitutionalists, which is what all judges should be. This isn’t ‘liberal versus conservative’, but rather constitutionalist versus socialist.
