“I am pleased to announce that Bill Stepien has been promoted to the role of Trump Campaign Manager,” Trump posted on Facebook. “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.
“Both were heavily involved in our historic 2016 win, and I look forward to having a big and very important second win together,” he added. “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!”
