A new super PAC supporting Donald Trump and backed by one of his close friends has hired GOP strategist Alex Castellanos to cut advertisements and work on strategy, the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Castellanos’s involvement is notable for his previous criticism of Mr. Trump. He had quietly explored the possibilities of creating a Stop Trump effort last fall, and he has long urged the Republican Party to change its tone and focus in order to appeal to a broader coalition of voters.”
Castellanos, writing last summer for CNN: “Donald Trump is a strongman. But he is not the man for this moment. He is not a Republican or a conservative. If we want to keep our future in our hands, we shouldn’t put it in his.”
