Secret Changes in Trump's Campaign Team as Election Approaches
In a surprising move just weeks before the pivotal November 5 elections, Donald Trump's campaign has made a significant change in its media operations by hiring Tim Murtaugh, a seasoned veteran from the Trump 2020 campaign. This decision, reported by Axios, aims to enhance the coordination of communications as Trump intensifies his political rhetoric and targets rivals like Kamala Harris and other Democrats.
Murtaugh's appointment signals a strategic shift within the campaign, reflecting the leadership's desire for a more unified messaging approach. As the campaign gears up for the final stretch, Murtaugh will oversee crucial aspects such as research, rapid response, and social media management. His role will also include coordinating media appearances for Trump's supporters, a critical element in the campaign's outreach efforts.
This change comes amid the influence of campaign co-manager Susie Wiles, who has effectively distanced controversial figures like Corey Lewandowski and Laura Loomer from the campaign's core operations. Murtaugh, who has a background in journalism and previously worked on various Republican campaigns, brings a wealth of experience to this new role. His book, "Hit Hard If You Hit Him," details his personal journey and professional evolution within the political landscape.
