Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replaced campaign manager Dennis Kucinich with his daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox, a former CIA officer.

President Trump replaced campaign manager Brad Parscale with Bill Stepien following a disappointing turnout at the Tulsa rally. While Parscale will remain as a senior advisor for data strategy, the move is seen as a necessary pivot to address declining poll numbers and messaging inconsistencies.

The hosts analyze the collapse of Hillary Clinton's primary campaign, attributing it to early arrogance and poor management.
