Inside Corey Lewandowski’s Trump Campaign Takeover

August 28, 2024 · 9:14 am ET · Leave a Comment

Jake Lahut: “Over the past week, four Republicans familiar with discussions on Lewandowski’s new role and who’ve worked alongside him before shared new details with Straight from the Hut on how he’s shaking up the campaign. They said to expect more free wheeling policy speeches slash press conferences to inject Trump back into the news cycle, a return to old school Trumpworld infighting, and that the best way to understand his re-hiring is through the lens of the Butler shooting.”

“The mystique and fear around Lewandowski starts with his ever-changing story on what his job actually entails, but the traces of his vision for a strategic shift are beginning to take shape.”
