Biden just hired Jen O’Malley Dillion as his new campaign manager. That is a fantastic hire, she’s is a superstar. She’s the first person Beto hired after he raised a kajillion dollars at the very beginning of his campaign. 


Worked out really well for Beto...

Joe Biden has hired Jen O'Malley Dillon as his new campaign manager in a shake-up of top-level staff as the former vice president looks to close out the Democratic primary against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and prepare for the general election.

 

O'Malley Dillon, a former top Barack Obama campaign aide who last year managed Beto O'Rourke's presidential bid, had been helping Biden's campaign since the Nevada caucuses, where Biden began his rebound after disappointing showings in Iowa and New Hampshire.


She replaces Greg Schultz, who is remaining with the campaign in what's being described as an important role that hasn't fully been defined.

Quote

Anita Dunn, who Biden had elevated above Schultz and was handed final decision-making authority on the campaign weeks ago, will remain on as a senior adviser.


The decision to bring O'Malley Dillon aboard underscores the urgency now facing Biden as he pivots to a likely general election contest with President Donald Trump. The Biden campaign, for most of the last year, has been underfunded and overseen by longtime aides to the former vice president, who now are scrambling to expand to be competitive with the massive operation Trump has been building.


"They need to ramp up and ramp up now," a longtime Obama adviser told CNN, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid being seen as criticizing the Biden team. "The Trump campaign has a huge head start."


The hiring of O'Malley Dillon is also designed to professionalize the Biden campaign as well as send a message to Democratic donors and supporters that the former vice president is adding structure to his team. She is the first of several high-level strategists who will be joining the Biden campaign headquarters in Philadelphia in the coming weeks, people familiar with the matter say.


Biden's campaign has received an influx of resumes and interest from aides to his former Democratic primary rivals and is in the process of building out every operation, Dunn told CNN on Wednesday. But multiple sources said it could take time for the campaign to work through its senior staff-level changes because it also faces decisions about how Biden will move forward amid concerns about coronavirus.


O'Malley Dillon was a deputy campaign manager for Obama's reelection effort in 2012 and is seen as one of the party's sharpest data experts. Her hiring could also open the door to more former Obama staffers joining the Biden campaign.

The convention celebration will be interesting viewing, with her one delegate jumping up and down while the other 4000 just watch him.

I guess???

 

 

A 'Never Biden' movement vows not to vote for Joe 

>>>

On Tuesday night, Joe Biden's campaign was celebrating his latest primary night triumph.

By Wednesday morning, #NeverBiden, #WriteinBernie and #DemExit2020 hashtags began trending on Twitter. There's no question it’s been a banner two weeks for Biden. But lurking in the background of his sudden ascension to all-but-presumptive nominee is evidence that at least some Bernie Sanders supporters might not migrate to him in November, weakening him in the general election.....<<<<<

 

 

TO BEAT TRUMP, A WOMAN OF COLOR VICE PRESIDENT IS MORE THAN A CONSOLATION PRIZE. IT'S A NECESSITY  

 

>>>Looking at the remaining two white men competing for the Democratic nomination to take on fellow white man President Donald Trump, I feel a familiar heartbreak. A grief known to many women of color whose brilliance is passed over, again and again, as we are told to wait our turn. Elizabeth Warren's recent decision to suspend her campaign has compounded that tremendous sense of loss....<<<

Pushed by Russian accounts and bots, no doubt.
