President Trump announced Wednesday his campaign manager Brad Parscale would be replaced just 15 weeks before the November election.
Mr. Parscale will stay on the Trump campaign and help with digital outreach while Bill Stepien will become the new manager of the campaign.
“I am pleased to announce that Bill Stepien has been promoted to the role of Trump Campaign Manager. Brad Parscale, who has been with me for a very long time and has led our tremendous digital and data strategies, will remain in that role, while being a Senior Advisor to the campaign. Both were heavily involved in our historic 2016 win, and I look forward to having a big and very important second win together. This one should be a lot easier as our poll numbers are rising fast, the economy is getting better, vaccines and therapeutics will soon be on the way, and Americans want safe streets and communities!” the president posted on Facebook.
The move comes after several national polls have shown presumptive Democratic nominee former Vice President Joseph R. Biden with a double digit lead against Mr. Trump.
Mr. Biden is also leading in several battleground state polls.
