Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC.

All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut.

I read the thread and article ready to come in here making a joke about Anthony Scaramucci having another shot at working for Trump only to check my sources and find this:

Anti-Trump political activities, 2019–2020

In July 2019, Scaramucci predicted that Trump would win "40+ states in 2020" but turned against Trump shortly thereafter, strongly criticizing Trump's attacks against women of color as "racist and unacceptable."[63] In August 2019, Scaramucci said that he no longer supported Trump's reelection campaign.[64]

In June 2020, Scaramucci joined with Matt Borges and other well-known Republican operatives to launch Right Side PAC, a super PAC aiming to prevent Trump's re-election as president and support his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.[66] Scaramucci served as an adviser to the group.[67][68] He was one of multiple other Trump former officials to endorse Biden.[69]

I mean hes the guy that took a job for 10 days in the Trump admin and ended up divorced and becoming a memetic unit of time that is only rivaled by "the truss," which is defined as "a period of time less than the usable lifespan of a lettuce where long reigning world leaders die."

He got a real fast reality check about what supporting trump means.

He worked for the Trump campaign for a long time before that.

Good interview with him on ‘Leading’ with Alisdair Campbell and Rory Stuart.
