CHICAGO – It is being reported that Donald Trump’s Illinois campaign director – Kent Gray – has been sidelined after Trump grew furious over what sources described as a lack of organization in the state in the run-up to Tuesday’s primary.
Sources told POLITICO that Gray was sidelined early last week after the Trump camp learned he made few inroads with get-out-the-vote efforts and organizing volunteers.
“One thing after another was bungled,” said one source with knowledge of the discussions.
According to polls, Trump is leading in Illinois, with Ted Cruz in second and John Kasich in third.
