Less than four months from Election Day, President Donald Trump announced a major shake-up to his reelection team on Wednesday night, demoting longtime campaign manager Brad Parscale amid sinking polling numbers and a string of botched efforts to reboot his campaign amid the ongoing pandemic.
The president offered the campaign manager role to Stepien during a private meeting Tuesday at the White House. Stepien was elevated to deputy campaign manager in late May.Senior level campaign sources reached by ABC News were shocked and did not see the change coming tonight. Parscale was informed of the change by Jared Kushner, sources said. This comes as Kushner and top campaign aides have been meeting all week on the campaign's path forward.
"The president is still going to trample on the messaging being put out and spent millions on, moving Brad out doesn't change that," a Trump aide told ABC News. "I lived this, as you know, I did this when candidate Trump was running. We won 38 primaries and caucuses under my stewardship, obviously all due to Donald Trump, but we never did something like this," Lewandowski said.
