Trump Demotes Campaign Manager Brad Parscale In Shake-Up

President Donald Trump will replace his campaign manager, Brad Parscale, amid lagging polls and a disastrous rally in Oklahoma last month, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

He will stay on as a senior adviser for data and digital operations.

Parscale, who has served as the president’s campaign manager since early 2018, will be replaced by Bill Stepien, a longtime political operative who worked on both New Jersey gubernatorial campaigns for Chris Christie before he was fired after the Bridgegate scandal.

He has been working as Trump’s deputy campaign manager.

“Brad and Bill were both unsung heroes of the 2016 campaign and have done a great job building the infrastructure for the president’s campaign for the 2020 race,” Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser, confirmed to the Times later Wednesday. “Together they both bring unique strengths.”
