Tulsa rally failure may spark Trump campaign team shakeup via hunterw, jonward11
“The president has diminishing confidence in Brad,” a former adviser said of Parscale, who served as the campaign’s digital director in 2016.
Multiple sources said Trump is considering giving more responsibility to two other top campaign staffers — Jason Miller and Bill Stepien. Earlier this month, Miller, who was Trump’s communications director in 2016, was hired to be a senior adviser. Stepien, who has worked for the Trump campaign and the White House since 2016, was recently promoted to deputy campaign manager.
Story continuesThe fire marshal’s office in Tulsa said Trump drew under 6,200 people at the BOK Center, which can hold about 19,000. The Trump campaign prepped for overflow crowds by setting up an outdoor stage where the president and Vice President Mike Pence were scheduled to make speeches prior to the rally. Those remarks were scrapped and the stage was dismantled after no crowds were left outside the venue.
Whatever caused attendance to fall below the campaign’s expectations, the rows of empty seats were an embarrassing sight, particularly given Trump’s infamous preoccupation with crowd sizes. Parscale’s prior social media boasts that 800,000 people had signed up for tickets added to the negative headlines, as did claims that an anti-Trump campaign led by teens on TikTok was behind this large number .
“Brad never has experience to point to and offer a counterpoint when the president has a bad instinct,” the former adviser said. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and a top White House adviser, also plays a key role on the campaign — albeit in an unofficial capacity — and has a good relationship with Parscale. A person familiar with Kushner’s thinking told Yahoo News that Trump’s son-in-law is close to Parscale and is unlikely to be eager for him to leave the campaign.
