President Trump announced late Wednesday that he is replacing campaign manager Brad Parscale, as more and more polls show rival Joe Biden opening up a significant early lead in the race for the White House.
If you believe these polls, he is 15 points in the lead even though he has dementia.
The move came days after The Washington Post portrayed Parscale as self-promoting and aloof. They noted that Parscale was prominent in an early Trump campaign ad. Staffers complained he often took calls by his swimming pool at home.
“I am pleased to announce that Bill Stepien has been promoted to Trump Campaign Manager, the President tweeted. His series of tweets:

As far as the polls, Rasmussen has his approval up to 48%. Much depends on the virus, getting the schools opened, and people back to work. That is why the Democrats don’t want the children back in school. They know it will be enough to take down Donald Trump. There can be no other reason. All the evidence shows that they should be back in school.
Erick Erickson Shared Some of His Thoughts
First, the President has been aggravated for a while by suggestions that people on his campaign were getting rich off his voters. I know the media impression of the President and you all know my views on the President, but the President is very, very protective of his base and does now want them seen as a piggy bank. He has been bothered, for some time, by reports about lavish income being made off his campaign.
Second, campaign fundamentals have had serious issues. For example, the President should not have to be spending money in Georgia, but he is. There’s a failure to execute at the grassroots level in the campaign.
Third, for a supposed data mining genius, that Tulsa rally was a disaster and did not have to be and it exposed Parscale. The campaign should have known what was coming and seemed caught off guard. It has left the President furious. If a million progressives really did RSVP, as some claimed, the campaign should have known through their data metrics. They should also have known not to brag about massive crowds coming at a time of a global pandemic. But they did anyway and then no one showed up.
Fourth, the President is now aware he does have serious problems with the suburbs. Stepien ran Chris Christie’s campaign in 2009 and knows how to win suburbs for Republican when those suburbs lean left. Some conservatives might grumble moving forward, but Stepien is competent, capable, and able to chart a course forward. The President also respects him.
