Donald Trump announced that he is reorganizing his campaign, giving an expanded role to veteran strategist Paul Manafort, the Washington Post reports.
“With a growing possibility that Trump will not arrive at July’s GOP convention having the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination on the first ballot, his campaign will have to put more emphasis on the nuts-and-bolts, ground-level organizing at which his closest rival, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, has excelled.”
“That includes assuring that the delegates, many of whom will be picked in coming weeks at district and state conventions around the country, are people who will be loyal to Trump if the convention goes beyond a first ballot in selecting a nominee.”
Chris Cillizza: “Trump is not a dumb man. He didn’t get to where he is … by not grasping when things are slipping away from him … [T]he writing appears to be on the wall. Manafort will run things going forward.”
