Washington
Incumbent US President Donald Trump, who is seeking a second term, fired his campaign manager late Wednesday with the elections just four months away. With two more polls Wednesday adding to several recently that have shown the US president’s support tanking, he took to Twitter to announce that Brad Parscale would be replaced by Bill Stepien, his former deputy campaign manager. Praising both for their efforts, he struck a hopeful note as he looked ahead to November, saying the election “should be a lot easier” than 2016 “as our poll numbers are rising fast, the economy is getting better, vaccines and therapeutics will soon… be on the way, and Americans want safe streets and communities!” —AFP
