With the Iowa caucuses less than 50 days away, one of GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s top political advisers is leaving to work for former President Donald Trump’s campaign, according to multiple sources familiar with the move.
Brian Swensen, who served as Ramaswamy’s national political director since the spring, confirmed to CBS News he is leaving and directed further questions about his future role to the Trump campaign.
“We love Brian,” Tricia McLaughlin, Ramaswamy’s communications director, told CBS News.
News of Swensen’s departure comes at a critical time for Ramaswamy, who has failed to recapture the momentum he had over the summer.
The move comes just weeks after the Ramaswamy campaign announced it was sending all staffers from its Ohio headquarters to Iowa and New Hampshire.
We’re sitting exactly where I want to be and I’m confident that we have the momentum ahead of us to be the nominee and more importantly to win this election in a landslide," he told reporters earlier this month in Iowa.
