Both of these choices make sense. Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway have experience but are their own people. I worked with Steve and Andrew Breitbart on the Sarah Palin documentary “Undefeated,” and thought Steve a genuine patriot and talented guy. I know Andrew respected him a great deal.
Kellyanne is also very good, and has a depth of experience that will benefit the campaign.
The media is saying this is a shakeup; I contend it’s an expected expansion. Television ads will also start to run this Friday.
Donald Trump, hitting reset on his 2016 campaign, is preparing to roll out his first wave of general election TV ads in four pivotal battleground states after shaking up the top echelon of his team in a bid to focus his message and make up lost ground in the polls against Hillary Clinton.
“I am committed to doing whatever it takes to win this election, and ultimately become President because our country cannot afford four more years of the failed Obama-Clinton policies which have endangered our financial and physical security,” the Republican nominee said in a statement early Wednesday announcing the latest staffing changes.
In what was described as an expansion, Trump promoted pollster Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager and named Stephen Bannon, the co-founder of Breitbart News, as campaign chief executive. Trump said in the statement that Paul Manafort, who took over following the departure of Corey Lewandowski in June, will maintain his current title and work closely with Conway and Bannon on the campaign moving forward.
Meanwhile, a senior Trump aide told Fox News the campaign will be rolling out TV ads Friday in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and North Carolina.
