:: Kellyanne Conway...has been promoted to the role of campaign manager...Paul Manafort will stay on as campaign chair...Stephen Bannon...will come on board as campaign CEO ::
So, who the heck is in charge at this point?
Trump is the only one really in charge of course—the final arbiter. In some ways this might look like a repeat of the power struggles between Lewandowski and Manafort, but Conway is coming on board already knowing Manafort’s position, so she shouldn’t be left with any resentment over it. Yahoo News referred to Bannon’s position in a different manner than this article—not as a CEO but as something I thought that sounded subordinate to campaign manager. We’ll have to wait and see what his function is vis-à-vis Conway and Manafort.
One might question Trump having so many key figures in his campaign but his business is doing well led by his three oldest kids, each with their own realm of responsibility. And I think it was time for a needed shift.
