Donald Trump's daughter-in-law appears to be restructuring the Democrats in preparation for the US election campaign.
Washington DC – Up to 60 employees of the Republican National Committee are to resign and look for a new job or reapply for their old job.
This is reported by the US magazine
politico,
citing sources at the US party for which Donald Trump wants to campaign again.
Since the beginning of March, Lara Trump has been co-chair of the US Republican National Committee, together with lawyer and Trump confidant Michael Whatley.
They were both elected unopposed and unopposed at the spring meeting.
After weeks of pressure from Trump, her predecessor Ronna McDaniel resigned at the end of February.

says .
And even after that, things continued at a quick pace.
It is not unusual for changes to occur in a national committee after that committee's party “de facto or officially has a presidential candidate.
However, the scale of these cuts goes beyond the norm,” writes
CNN
.
It also shows that in the recent past too few resources have been made available to the party committee.
Email from Trump confidant shows the concern behind the layoffs
“During this process, certain employees will be asked to resign and reapply for a position on the team,” Sean Cairncross wrote in an email obtained by
CNN
.
“Chairman Whatley is in the process of evaluating the organization and personnel to ensure that the structure is consistent with his vision for winning in November.” Cairncross, in turn, is an associate of Chris LaCivita, who runs the Trump campaign and is now a Holds office on the Republican National Committee.

The layoffs will primarily affect employees in the communications and data areas.
According to
Politico
, the Trump team wanted to respond to excessive democracy in the National Committee, which they blamed in part for the election defeat against incumbent US President Joe Biden.
Employees from the Trump campaign are then the same as employees from the Republican National Committee.
Overall, the Republican committee would only have a third of the Democrats' budget.
