Trump tours flood damage in Louisiana

Donald Trump on Friday traveled to Louisiana to tour the damage from floods that displaced thousands around Baton Rouge.

The GOP presidential nominee and his running mate, Mike Pence, rode in a motorcade through hard-hit areas of East Baton Rouge Parish and spoke individually with relief volunteers and victims at damaged buildings, The Associated Press reported.

The business mogul has largely eschewed traditional campaign strategies like surveying a disaster area. But the visit came shortly after a major shake-up among the leadership of Trump’s team, which included naming a new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway.

The Louisiana visit, along with a rare admission at a Thursday evening speech that he regrets some of the controversial comments he has made, seems to indicate a slight shift in strategy.
