Scott Jennings is awesome. He goes on CNN again and again, only to be faced with some of the dullest minds in media. But he always sets them straight, and we love watching it.
It seems CNN also realizes they have a gem on their hands because they've given Jennings a new deal and a big pay raise, which he absolutely deserves:

CNN is on the verge of finalizing a lucrative new contract for conservative commentator Scott Jennings, a move that demonstrates the left-leaning network’s recognition of his growing influence and appeal among supporters of President Trump, according to a report.
Jennings, a veteran political strategist and respected voice in Republican circles whose analysis serves as a counterweight to the network’s often left-leaning discussions, is set to receive a substantial pay increase, according to the Status newsletter.
Specific terms of Jennings’ reported compensation boost couldn’t immediately be learned.
The new contract for Jennings, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate to succeed retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), is testament to his growing popularity among Trump supporters on social media who routinely post clips of his contentious interactions with co-panelists.
Maybe CNN will also figure out why Jennings is so popular.
Well, seeing how most people are tuning in to watch @ScottJenningsKY mostly, that's fair.

Yes.
Connect the dots here, CNN.
@ScottJenningsKY is the only one keeping that network alive. He carries all the ratings on his back and is the ONLY REASON we still tune in because he shows up. Beyond well deserved! Congrats Scott!! Massive respect for you work. 🫡🇺🇸👏🏼

He is keeping CNN afloat.
He should be running for McConnell’s Senate seat

That would be awesome.
He's not pro-Trump. He's pro-common sense.

Which is why he resonates with so many Americans.
Jennings needs his own prime time show. https://t.co/E1jrmQi3VW
