Lewandowski, a conservative firebrand who has maintained a close relationship with President Trump despite being fired from the campaign in June 2016, told The Hill earlier this month that he's "seriously considering" a Senate run and casted Shaheen as a "failed" senator.

Lewandowski slammed Shaheen Sunday, suggesting she's been using her office to boost her personal finances.

"Jeanne Shaheen has been an exceptionally wealthy," he said. "I think it's time to hold these people accountable. They go win poor and they come out very rich. They think it's a job they're entitled to, and that they can keep for the rest of their lives. "

Lewandowski has already received the strong endorsement of Trump, who said he would be a "fantastic" senator.
