@cspanofficial: C-SPAN's "Ceasefire" — Democratic strategist Sawyer Hackett and Republican strategist Maura Gillespie discussed potential changes to President Trump's White House staff amid political pressure and concerns about the upcoming midterm elections. Mr. Hackett said a significant midterm loss could prompt the administration to make staff changes, but argued that these changes would not address the underlying reasons for the president's unpopularity. "I don't think that voters are necessarily looking for a sort of shake-up," Hackett said. "I don't think that's going to change the dynamic." Ms. Gillespie questioned the focus on potential personnel changes involving women in the administration, noting that several female officials have faced scrutiny or been discussed in connection with departures. She argued that the president should instead address concerns about alleged misuse of taxpayer dollars and other issues within the administration. "I wish that the president would address those instead of just targeting women," Gillespie said. Watch the full interview FRIDAY at 7pm and 10pm ET/PT on C-SPAN. #cspan #trump #whitehouse #election
