Former President Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed reports that he would bring Corey Lewandowski on his campaign as a senior advisor.

Trump let Lewandowski go in June of 2016. He was his first campaign manager during that cycle.

"In 2016, we did well, and WON. In 2020, we got Millions of more Votes and actually did much better than 2016, but nothing compares to this year, 2024," Trump posted on Truth Social. "The Enthusiasm is GREAT, and the Management Team, headed up by Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, is THE BEST."

"Many people want to join the Campaign for the final push, some from the first two Campaigns - And we want as many as we can get!" he went on. "I am pleased to announce that Corey Lewandowski, who was very involved in 2016, will be coming on board as a Senior Advisor. Others, likewise, are joining us. They’ll be announced soon!"
