Corey Lewandowski says management will remain despite reports of ex-president \u2018feeling superstitious and nostalgic\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump campaign senior official Corey Lewandowski has rejected rumors of shake-up in the management of the former president\u2019s election bid, saying the operation\u2019s leadership will not change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lewandowski, Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign manager who recently joined the 2024 team, told Fox News Sunday<\/a> that campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita will remain at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are solely focused on one thing, which is making sure Donald Trump<\/a> has the opportunity to lay out his vision for America over the next nine weeks,\u201d Lewandowski said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lewandowski, a controversial figure who was fired by Trump in 2016 after grabbing the arm of a reporter and four years later lost his position overseeing a pro-Trump political fund amid claims he made unwanted sexual advances on a Trump donor, was re-admitted to the campaign last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That prompted speculation that Lewandowski would be appointed campaign chairperson as Trump\u2019s polling began to slip against a reformulated Democratic party operation with a new candidate. Some reports asserted<\/a> that Trump had \u201cbeen feeling superstitious and nostalgic of late\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But rising speculation that Wiles and LaCivita might be pushed aside in favor of Lewandowski and former presidential counsellor Kellyanne Conway<\/a> have not materialized into a campaign shake-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Trump campaign statement<\/a> last month said that Trump \u201cthinks Ms Wiles and Mr LaCivita are doing a phenomenal job and any rumors to the contrary are false and not rooted in reality\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
