The former Trump campaign manager ran the idea by his ex-boss too.
Corey Lewandowski has talked with American Exceptionalism PAC, an outside group that has been set up to bolster the candidacy of Ramaswamy, according to three people familiar with the discussions. | Alex Wong/Getty ImagesFormer Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has spoken with a pro-Vivek Ramaswamy super PAC about coming on board — and ran the idea by the former president before doing so.
Ramaswamy has also emerged as a persistent critic of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Trump’s chief primary rival. Spokespersons for the Trump campaign and American Exceptionalism PAC declined to comment. Lewandowski did not respond to a request for comment. It is not clear whether Lewandowski will ultimately join the Super PAC and, if so, what exact role he would have.
Still, Lewandowski’s presence at American Exceptionalism PAC could have the effect of bolstering Trump. With Lewandowski involved, top Republicans believe it would be inconceivable that the super PAC would target the former president, and would most likely focus its fire elsewhere.
