WASHINGTON — Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings is mulling a run to replace retiring Kentucky GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell — but is waiting to see if President Trump will give him the green light.“If the president wants me, I’ll run,” the veteran political strategist spilled at an afterparty following Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, according to the Daily Beast.“If he wants somebody else, I’ll support that candidate,” added Jennings, a onetime adviser to McConnell, who will retire next year after being the longest-serving Senate leader of either party in the upper chamber’s history.
