Top Biden aides to leave the White House for campaign leadership roles
Former President Donald Trump's rapid consolidation of support in the Republican Party contributed in part to the staffing moves, sources told NBC News.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s campaign is shaking up its senior leadership, having Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and Mike Donilon move from their roles in the White House to top jobs for his re-election bid, according to campaign officials.
In the coming weeks as the campaign shifts to a general election posture, the expected staff moves will have Donilon playing a central role in the campaign’s messaging and paid media strategy and O’Malley Dillon in the organizing and execution of the campaign’s path to 270 electoral votes — all under the leadership of campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez, the officials said.

She added that the campaign has a clear focus on “what it is that we need to do between now and when it is official who our opponent is going to be.”
“All of that work is well underway and will continue at the clip that we need it to,” she said.
