Campaign Manager Pushing Trump to Hold Firm on Wall

January 28, 2019 at 7:40 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

President Trump’s campaign manager “is pushing him to hold firm in his ongoing battle with Democrats over funding for a border wall with Mexico,” CNN reports.

“Brad Parscale is making his pitch as Trump continues to negotiate with Democrats over border wall funding with the possibility of another government shutdown looming in less than three weeks.”

“As part of his pitch, Parscale is presenting the President with internal data that shows voters in key swing areas believe a border wall or fence is needed.”
