 "Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump")
A day after firing his campaign manager, Donald Trump has said he is now ready to run a "different kind of a campaign."
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee told Fox News that Corey Lewandowski was "a good man" who helped him run a "small, beautiful, well-unified campaign" during the primary season.
"We're going to go a different route," Trump said after sacking Lewandowski.
The 69-year-old real-estate tycoon said he is ready to run "a different kind of campaign" while explaining his decision to fire Lewandowski.
Trump said he plans to ramp up campaign operations heading into the general election phase of the campaign, and he may even have some cabinet picks in place before the Republican National Convention next month.
"We have tremendous people, we have tremendous talent," he was quoted as saying.
Trump said he would not announce his vice-presidential pick before the convention in Cleveland, but was looking for someone with "great judgement" and "in the world of politics" to balance out his experience in the business world.
The former conservative activist played a central role in daily operations, fund raising, and Trump's search for a running mate, but Lewandowski's aggressive approach also fueled near-constant campaign infighting that complicated Trump's shift toward the general election, the Fox News report said.
