South Carolina Dem Gov Candidate James Smith Faces “Turbulence” After Multiple Senior Staff Departures

Just weeks into the general election for South Carolina’s gubernatorial race, Liberal Politician James Smith’s candidacy is facing major “turbulence” with multiple senior staffers departing his campaign. The State reports that Smith is losing yet another top staffer, with his spokeswoman departing the campaign.

This comes roughly two weeks after Smith severed ties with his campaign manager, Mike McCauley, whose vacancy still hasn’t been filled by the campaign. McCauley was Smith’s third campaign manager since he launched his candidacy last fall.

As Smith struggles with growing questions about his business practices while his far-left campaign platform fails to connect with South Carolina voters, the growing number of staff departures will worry Democrats about what kind of campaign Smith is running.

The State reports:

“James Smith’s spokeswoman is leaving the Columbia Democrat’s campaign — roughly two weeks after Democratic Party’s nominee cut ties with his campaign manager.

The campaign said its former spokeswoman, Alyssa Miller, is leaving to become a partner with Plus One Strategies in Connecticut…

Miller is the second high-profile departure for Smith’s campaign in the past few weeks. It comes as Smith’s campaign shifts its focus to the November general election. The 11-term S.C. House veteran hopes to spring an improbable upset of Republican Gov. Henry McMaster to become the first Democrat to land the Governor’s Mansion in two decades.

In June, Smith cut ties with his campaign manager Mike McCauley, who previously worked on then-candidate Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Smith’s campaign still is working to fill McCauley’s position.”
