Donald Trump’s close association with 31-year-old conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer is raising concerns about his presidential campaign’s stability, just weeks before the 2024 election.
Insiders are questioning the leadership of his campaign managers, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, as discontent has reportedly been simmering for a while.
Two recent issues have brought matters to a head: Trump’s underwhelming performance in the ABC News debate against Kamala Harris and the decision to allow Loomer, a known 9/11 conspiracy theorist, to accompany him to memorial events.
During a news conference, Trump defended Loomer as a “free spirit” and supporter, though he distanced himself from her specific remarks.
Wiles, who manages key decisions for the campaign, has come under fire for allowing Loomer on Trump’s campaign plane.
Critics within Trump’s camp blame her for this misstep, with some speculating that her motivations may be more about securing post-election business deals than winning the race. Despite the backlash, Wiles’ team insists she is fully dedicated to Trump’s success.
This controversy has sparked outrage among prominent Republicans, with figures like Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Lindsey Graham criticizing Loomer’s past remarks and questioning her involvement with Trump.
