Could Carly Fiorina be plotting a second bid for the vice presidency in 2020?

The former Republican presidential candidate and former CEO of Hewlitt-Packard appears to be carefully cultivating relationships with the activist GOP members who would ultimately vote for a new Republican National Committee chairman. Advisers to Fiorina have been reaching out to several state parties, offering them her personal phone number and conveying her desire to help in “any way,” and Fiorina has been making the speaking rounds to local GOP events.

“The reality is, someone like Carly Fiorina brings a lot to the table,” Lennox said.

“The past few months Carly has been helping out with major races around the country. I know she is planning to reach out to your party chairman in the next week or so, just to touch base and see if there is any way she could be helpful to Republicans in the [Insert State or Territory] this Fall,” an adviser wrote in an email circulated to multiple state party executive directors.

Fiorina and her aides have also been aggressively creating a fall travel plan geared towards visiting several states with close upcoming Republican races. She has already spoken at state GOP gatherings in places like Connecticut — not exactly the go-to location for conservative politicians.

The hustle from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s former running mate have some speculating she is eyeing the RNC chair position — or something even more ambitious. The chair position, currently held by Reince Priebus, could become open in January. Priebus has not officially stated if he plans to run for re-election and has instead focused his efforts toward electing Donald Trump in November.

But if Fiorina’s goal is a bid for the RNC chair, there’s one catch: If Trump wins the November election, then he will have a major “say” in who receives the chairmanship — and Fiorina has been a fairly open Trump detractor. This, of course, begs the following two question: Why would Fiorina consider campaigning so intensely for the chair position, unless she believed Trump wouldn’t win the presidency? And if she anticipates a victory for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, would Fiorina use an RNC chair bid as leverage for another go at the presidency, or even the vice presidency, if Cruz were to set his sights for 2020?

Fiorina, who has not endorsed Trump for the presidency, has spent a great deal of time in pitting herself Clinton has the conservative female alternative, including using and maintaining her Facebook page as a vehicle to attack Clinton. All of these efforts could prove extremely useful should Trump lose the presidency and Clinton have the opportunity to wreak havoc upon the nation.

“Regardless of whether she’s running for RNC chair or not, she’s looking for opportunities to stay active in the Republican Party,” Dennis Lennox, the executive director of the Virgin Islands GOP, told Politico. “The reality is, someone like Carly Fiorina brings a lot to the table.”
