“They just laid off people,” one campaign adviser reportedly said.


Another source said that staffers had been informed that they will be receiving their “last paycheck,” and that they have “just one week left.”

Yahoo notes that this is common practice among most campaigns after Election Day. Most employees, especially those tasked with planning events, are simply not needed once campaigns end.

“Every campaign has a sell by date, even successful ones,” a Republican source told the website. "This is why campaign life is the best and also worst job ever."
