President Trump announced the departure of Parscale on Facebook Wednesday,
“I am pleased to announce that Bill Stepien has been promoted to the role of Trump Campaign Manager, Brad Parscale, who has been with me for a very long time and has led our tremendous digital and data strategies, will remain in that role, while being a Senior Advisor to the campaign. Both were heavily involved in our historic 2016 win, and I look forward to having a big and very important second win together.”
Stepien will become Mr. Trump’s fifth campaign manager, following Corey Lewandowski, Paul Manafort, Kellyanne Conway, and Parscale. He previously served as deputy campaign manager. Stepien has been working for Mr. Trump since January 2017, when he was hired as deputy assistant to the president and political director.
Stepien served as Chris Christie’s campaign manager for his 2009 run for New Jersey governor and again for his reelection bid in 2013. He also served as national field director for Rudy Giuliani’s 2008 run for president and worked on John McCain’s presidential campaign that same year.
