Republican
presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Monday shook up his White House bid as he
looks to a November showdown with Hillary Clinton, letting go his controversial
campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski — who had led the real estate mogul’s campaign
from the start and was credited with Trump’s initial breakthrough in the
primaries — has recently been sidelined, with more experienced political
operatives taking over in the run-up to November 8.
Lewandowski courted controversy earlier this year over a
March run-in with a reporter at a Trump rally. She accused him of roughly
grabbing her, leaving bruises, but he denied that account. Florida prosecutors
opted to drop all charges.
“The Donald J. Trump Campaign for President, which has set a
historic record in the Republican primary having received almost 14 million
votes, has today announced that Corey Lewandowski will no longer be working
with the campaign,” spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The New York Times in a
statement.
“The campaign is
grateful to Corey for his hard work and dedication and we wish him the best in
the future.” Trump’s team did not specify the terms of Lewandowski’s departure.
The 70-year-old Trump has recently taken a hit in the
national polls, and sources within his campaign told the Times that he was
looking to make changes ahead of the Republican national convention in
mid-July.
