It just might be a sign that Donald Trump is finally losing the U.S presidential election as his campaign manager Paul Manafort today resigned, after just two months of being in the job.
Trump announced the news on Friday morning:
‘This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign. I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success.’
It’s the second high profile departure from the top of Trump’s campaign structure after campaign manager Corey Lewandowski left the operation earlier this summer. Breitbart News chief Steve Bannon is the new campaign CEO while Kellyanne Conway is the campaign manager.
