With less than four months until Election Day,\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0has decided to replace\u00a0Brad Parscale\u00a0as his re-election campaign manager.\u00a0<\/p>\n The president announced the shake-up via social media on Wednesday, confirming Parscale would be succeeded by Bill Stepien, a political operative who worked in the 2016\u00a0Trump\u00a0campaign as the national field director.\u00a0POTUS said Parscale, who was tapped to lead the\u00a0re-election efforts back in 2018, will remain with the campaign as a\u00a0senior adviser for data and digital strategies.<\/p>\n “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,” Trump wrote.\u00a0“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!”<\/p>\n Though Parscale had no background in politics, he was hired to create a website for Trump’s first campaign and was eventually named as the campaign’s digital director. There were whispers that Parscale’s position on the team was at risk because of the disappointing turnout<\/a> for last month’s Tulsa rally. His demotion also comes as Trump’s national poll numbers continue to fall, while presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is seeing a steady rise.<\/p>\n
