Trump just announced that Brad Parscale is out as Team Trump’s campaign manager, announcing that Bill Stepien will take his place:
Trump isn’t dumping Parscale altogether. He notes that he’ll be in charge of digital and data strategies for the campaign, as well as remain a senior adviser to the campaign.
With all the bad press Trump has been getting lately with respect to his campaign performance, I had a feeling something like this was coming. We see it all the time with floundering campaigns, who make a big announcement like this to start over and get things in back gear.
Here’s a photo of Stepien:

So do you think this is enough to help Trump get his momentum back?
UPDATE: Erick Erickson thinks this is a good move…
It is a good sign that the President has replaced Parscale with Bill Stepien.
