President Trump in a late evening Facebook post on Wednesday announced that campaign manager Brad Parscale has been replaced in that role by Bill Stepien, amid the president's slipping performance in polls and a recent embarrassment in failing to attract supporters to the president's comeback rally in Tulsa last month.
Parscale had been a key part of Trump's digital and data operations in 2016 and has outlasted many of his colleagues with a boss who has been known to shake up his staff with little provocation. Parscale will stay on with the campaign to lead digital and data strategies.
The president wrote on Facebook:
Stepien had previously served as deputy manager to the campaign.
