Anthony Weiner’s campaign manager for his New York City mayoral bid resigned over the weekend, a spokeswoman confirmed Sunday, according to Reuters.
News of Danny Kedem’s departure comes as the scandal embroiled candidate’s polling numbers plummeted in recent days after new revelations of his sexually explicit Internet exchanges with women emerged.
Kedem joined Weiner’s campaign in early spring, and no reason was provided for his sudden departure.
Weiner spoke to reporters in Brooklyn Sunday and said Kedem had done a “remarkable job” and lauded the rest of his staff.
“They’ve dealt with a presidential level of scrutiny and they’ve dealt with a candidate who has made some mistakes in his past and they are coming back up now,” he said, according to Reuters.
The resignation was first reported by The New York Times Saturday.
