Manafort will take over as campaign manager, said Carl Paladino, co-chairman of the campaign's operations in New York state. Trump said Lewandowski did "a great job" but "it's time now for a different kind of a campaign." Donald Trump fired Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager who helped him win Republican presidential nominating contests but clashed with other advisers on how to appeal to the broader general electorate. Hope Hicks, who single-handedly fields Trump's media inquiries, disputed reports she had complained about Lewandowski to Ivanka Trump. Lewandowski, 42, had been a near-constant presence at Trump's side since the New York developer launched his campaign on June 2015.
