CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – The Latest on campaign 2016 (all times Eastern):

7:15 a.m.

Donald Trump’s new campaign manager says his expression of remorse for making offensive comments was of his own volition.

“It was not me,” Kellyanne Conway told ABC’s Good Morning America Friday, saying the Republican nominee’s apology Thursday “was all Donald Trump.” She added that “perhaps he felt it before,” but he chose that moment to express them.

Conway was named Trump’s new campaign manager as part of a staff shakeup earlier this week.
