Corey Lewandowski sent home after Trump campaign coup fails

In the United States, Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump's former campaign manager, has been sent back to New Hampshire after attempting to assert control over Trump's current campaign. Lewandowski, who returned as an unpaid senior adviser, misrepresented his role, claiming he was there to 'run the campaign.' However, sources indicated that Trump only wanted him to find a task to occupy his time. His attempts to undermine current campaign leaders Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, along with a secret audit of campaign finances, led to his isolation within the team. Despite his ambitions, Lewandowski faced significant resistance from the campaign staff, many of whom were loyal to Wiles and LaCivita. His lack of allies and previous controversies, including being fired from Trump's 2016 campaign and a pro-Trump super PAC, further diminished his standing. As a result, he has been instructed to focus on surrogate duties and local politics in New Hampshire, a state that has not voted Republican since 2000. Lewandowski expressed his commitment to supporting Trump, despite recent setbacks. His relationship with Trump remains complex; while he has been sidelined, Trump still seems to have a fondness for him, as evidenced by Lewandowski's recent travel on Trump's private plane. This dynamic illustrates the ongoing tensions within Trump's campaign and the challenges faced by those seeking to influence it. Ultimately, Lewandowski's return to New Hampshire marks a significant shift in his role, as he attempts to navigate the political landscape while grappling with his past failures and the current campaign's direction.
