Donald Trump Hands Kellyanne Conway, Stephen Bannon New Roles in Campaign

NEW YORK — Donald Trump is shaking up his campaign's leadership amid flagging poll numbers, NBC News has learned.

Kellyanne Conway — already a senior adviser to the campaign — told NBC News she has been promoted to the role of campaign manager.
