A nondescript office building at 675 N. Washington Street in Old Town Alexandria is officially operating as the Donald Trump campaigns Washington-area headquarters, with several senior aides spotted entering its tree-shrouded entrance on Monday.
Monday morning marked the first time the new space was used for a gathering of high-ranking staffers, according to several Trump associates. This particular meeting was about delegate strategy and planning for state conventions in the Republican presidential race, the associates said.
Among the Trump advisers at the Alexandria outpost Monday were Rick Wiley, a veteran operative with deep roots in the GOP establishment who joined Trumps campaign this month as its national political director, deputy campaign manager Michael Glassner, and Ken McKay, the former campaign manager for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who was announced Monday as a new senior adviser.
Few of the business people in dark suits and mothers with infants lined up Monday at the sites bustling Starbucks noticed the arrival of the Republican front-runners campaign to the brick-and-glass office complex, called Washington Square, that features a Trader Joes grocery, a Talbots and a FedEx store.
