President Trumps reelection campaign has announced a staff shakeup just over four months before the general election as polls show him trailing former Vice President Joe Biden.
Michael Glassner, who organizes Trumps rallies, is being reassigned to a legal role within the campaign, and Jeff DeWit, a former Arizona state treasurer and Trump's 2016 Arizona chair, will come on as chief operating officer.
The shakeup, which was first reported by Axios and confirmed by a campaign official to The Hill, comes after a rally two weekends ago in Tulsa, Okla., where the president garnered embarrassing headlines after being unable to fill the arena and several campaign staffers contracted the coronavirus.
The campaign denied the moves had anything to do with the rally and indicated Glassner remains in the presidents good graces. Glassner has been among original hires on the Trump campaign dating back to 2015.
This is not a reaction to Tulsa. Michael Glassner is moving into the long-term role of navigating the many legal courses we face, including suits against major media outlets, some of which will likely extend beyond the end of the campaign. He is one of the founding members of Team Trump and his dedication to the success of the President is unmatched, said campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh.

Conway was the campaign manager for the general election.
He left early, too.
The only people that will make a big deal out of this are the leftist media and we all know what liars they are.
He was not unable to fill the arena. They kept seats empty from an abundance of caution.
no such “embarrassing headlines” for his Dem opponent though...no matter he does no rallies.
Who cares? Tulsa was ONE rally. Move on.
I hate the enemedia. Staff “SHAKEUP.” That choice of words belies a whole situation. The change could be reported entirely differently, and still convey information to the reader.
Just sayin.’ Once you start seeing the media for what it is, it’s impossible to stop. Sorry.
“The rule of opposites” applies to all media articles.
The truth is more likely to be exactly the opposite of what they tell you.
There’s a credible story floating around about people sabotaging that Trump rally attendence. First putting stickers on 12k seats, do not sit here. Because, “social distancing.” Campaign people removed them later after gates opened. Also, temperature takers all told to go home at 5. Couldn’t get SS screened without temperature taken first. They give you a wristband for temp ok. Stopped giving them at 5, just left!
The Trump Campaign got punked in Tulsa. They should have been expecting it. Somebody’s head had to roll.
These things happen. Its no big deal.
Michael Glassner, who organizes Trumps rallies, is being reassigned to a legal role within the campaign, and Jeff DeWit, a former Arizona state treasurer and Trump's 2016 Arizona chair, will come on as chief operating officer.
IOW, routine in any campaign. DNC talking points from The Shill.
