Trump aide Corey Lewandowski said to have lost campaign power struggle

Trump's comfort blanket' told to focus on surrogate work in New Hampshire after losing to campaign chiefs

Two months after he swept into the 2024 campaign as a senior adviser and suggested he would be taking it over, Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump's onetime 2016 campaign chief, has lost that power struggle and been told to focus on being a surrogate, according to people familiar with the matter.

The reassignment may sting for Lewandowski, who technically returned to Trump's orbit in a leadership role in the summer but quickly made enemies over his suggestion he would mount a power play and questions about whether the campaign mismanaged funds, the people said.
