At a campaign rally earlier this year in support of Kobach, Trump said he would help the Kansas secretary of state land a job in his administration if he lost the election.
Kobach to the DC? Last month, @realDonaldTrump said he would love @KrisKobach1787 to join his administration if he lost the governor's race. We asked Kobach about that earlier today. Kobach said he did not discuss it with the president. @41actionnews pic.twitter.com/II1xfCzr7j
