Weiner's campaign manager quits after new revelations of candidate's online behavior
Jul 28th 2013, 14:01

The campaign manager for New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner resigned over the weekend, according to several news reports.

The resignation of campaign manager Danny Kedem is the most recent setback for Weiner, a Democrat who resigned from Congress in 2011 after revelations he was sending sexual photographs and messages to women via social media accounts.

Last week, Weiner, a married father, publicly acknowledged he continued with the inappropriate messaging after his resignation.

Kedem's resignation was reported first by The New York Times, then confirmed Sunday morning by at least two other news-gathering agencies, including the New York Post, which spoke directly to Weiner.

"Danny has left the campaign," Weiner told the newspaper. "He did a remarkable job."

Weiner's attempted comeback got off to an expected rocky start, but he slowly rose in polls. However, the revelations last week appeared to have lessened his favorability among potential voters.

Though the 31-year-old Kedem's departure is not expected to make a huge impact on Weiner's day-to-day campaign operation, his departure suggests a loss of support for the candidate amid his already modest staff.

Kedem had managed the re-election of John DeStefano Jr. to a 10th term as mayor of New Haven in 2011and worked on Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, according to The Times.
