Related: About this forumTrump Hires Breitbart Chief For Top Post, Diminishes Manafort Role In Shakeup
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-hires-breitbart-chief-campaign-shakeupDonald Trump is shaking up his senior campaign staff yet again in the wake of several weeks of sinking poll numbers and critical press coverage of his gaffes from the trail.
Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon will temporarily step down from his role with Breitbart News to join the team as the campaign CEO, while Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway will be promoted to campaign manager.
The Wall Street Journal first broke the news about the staff changes on Tuesday, which the Trump campaign confirmed in a statement sent out in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
I have known Steve and Kellyanne both for many years, Trump said in the statement. They are extremely capable, highly qualified people who love to win and know how to win.
