WASHINGTON, AUGUST 17, 2016 – Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has overhauled his election campaign team for the second time in two months, bringing in a new manager and CEO.Pollster Kellyanne Conway becomes campaign manager and Stephen Bannon of Breitbart News the CEO, the BBC reports.
Paul Manafort remains as campaign chairman.
Mr Trump told Associated Press the new leaders were “terrific people, they’re champs.”
The Republican candidate has seen his poll ratings slip since the party conventions last month.
He trails Democratic Party candidate, Hillary Clinton, both nationally and in key battleground states.
The latest shake-up comes just 82 days before the election.
Although Mr. Manafort stays in his job, analysts said the new appointments represent a demotion.
