President Trump has hired Brad Parscale, the digital media director of his 2016 campaign, to run his re-election bid, CNN reports.
Jonathan Swan: “This decision reflects Jared Kushner’s continued influence inside Trumpworld. Nobody has promoted Brad Parscale more than Jared, and during the campaign he was Parscale’s biggest advocate. It also shows that Trump wants somebody adept at digital campaigning to run his campaign.”
