Latest addition to Trump campaign is ex-president's 'comfort animal': GOP pundit

Conservative author Jonah Goldberg dismissed the Trump 2024 campaign's decision to bring back Corey Lewandowski as being to "comfort" the former president as he slides in the polls.

In an announcement Thursday, Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita said Lewandowski was returning to the campaign after being fired as Donald Trump's 2016 campaign manager.

"When a campaign is going bad and the candidate is down in the dumps, you've got to bring someone that they can talk to," Goldberg said during a CNN panel on Thursday. "Basically, Corey Lewandowski might be like a service animal, like a comfort animal for Trump to vent to, who can travel with him so that the campaign staff can actually run the thing."

"Either way, I don't think it bodes well for the campaign," he added.
