Corey Lewandowski, a political commentator and adviser who helped President Trump win the Republican nomination, will join Vice President Mike Pence’s team on the 2020 reelection trail.
Lewandowski talked with Trump before accepting the position with Pence’s political action committee, sources familiar with the move told Fox News. An official announcement is expected soon.
The Great America Committee is the first PAC of its kind to be created by a sitting vice president and will look to focus on getting Republicans elected to Congress in the midterms and Trump and Pence re-elected in 2020.
The PAC can only be used to donate to other campaigns and cannot be used to funnel back to any future efforts by Pence, silencing any rumors that the PAC could be used for his own ambitions should Trump decide not to run for re-election.
Pence’s Great America Committee donated more than $150,000 to Republican congressional candidates in February.
A previous Fox News report indicated that Trump had discussed the possibility of Lewandowski becoming the chief of staff if John Kelly were to leave.
