Trump demotes Corey Lewandowski

Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been demoted and will now serve as the GOP front-runner's body man and scheduler as Paul Manafort fills the role of running the Trump campaign.

CBS reported that Trump's campaign has been significantly reorganized, and that the number of staffers reporting directly to Lewandowski has been reduced. Trump's national field director Stuart Jolly also resigned on Monday when faced with the prospect of reporting to newly hired political director Rick Wiley, who used to serve as Scott Walker's campaign manager.

Trump acknowledged the changes Tuesday morning on "Fox and Friends."

"When you bring other people in I could see other people getting hurt," Trump said of his campaign shake-up. "But frankly, we're in position where we'd like to see if we could close it out."

"I think were going to get to the number. I think today's very important," Trump added. "We hope to have a big day today and we're going to represent New York very well."
