Corey Lewandowski, a longtime adviser to Donald Trump, says the former president intends to be “actively involved” in the Republican Party.
Lewandowski made his comments during a Fox News interview on Thursday.
"The president continues to have enormous support and approval among Republican primary voters," he said. "He continues to have hundreds of millions of dollars in his campaign account, which he can utilize. And he will continue to be actively involved in recruiting candidates and holding elected officials accountable for their votes."
Lewandowski managed Trump's 2016 presidential primary campaign and was an adviser on his 2020 reelection campaign.
He said he expects all 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump to get primary challenges.
"They will all get primary challenges in my opinion," Lewandowski said. "I don’t know at what level the president’s going to weigh in on each of those races, but I think he will be involved in a number of them."
Lewandowski said he does not expect Trump to start a third political party. "I don’t think the president has any interest in being part of a third party," he said.
The New York Times' Maggie Haberman had tweeted Sunday: "In last 24 hours, after floating through a few folks that he was considering creating a third-party as a way to keep Senate Rs in line ahead of impeachment, Trump has been talked out of that and is making clear to people he isn't pursuing it, per ppl familiar w his thinking."
