Donald Trump’s struggling campaign has brought together a new team under recently hired strategist Paul Manafort and they’re taking control of people once overseen by campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, multiple campaign sources told Politico. The power struggle has left two groups with conflicting authority and staffers unsure which one to follow. A GOP fundraiser said Manafort is casting a wide net for prospective staff as he endeavors to build “an entire mirror organization.” A former campaign adviser said, “Corey has been neutered.”

Manafort was brought in last month and given more control last week in response to the Trump campaign’s struggles to amass delegates, a process mostly controlled by party insiders with knowledge of arcane, state-specific rules that has befuddled the GOP front-runner’s operation. Trump has almost no margin for error if he hopes to secure the 1,237 delegates required to win the nomination outright.
