The former vice president has been running a shoestring operation and now has to scale up even as he continues to battle Sen. Bernie Sanders for delegates.
A day after another string of dominant victories that moved him closer to the Democratic presidential nomination, Joe Biden’s campaign was working to reboot amid broad concerns within the party that his current operation is ill-equipped to match President Trump’s behemoth reelection effort.
, making him the candidate likeliest to face Trump in a highly polarized, extremely expensive general election.Biden’s advisers are taking steps to expand virtually all parts of his shoestring campaign operation, from finance, field and communications departments to the senior leadership team, answering the concerns of senior Democrats who are bracing for a new wave of assaults from Trump.
Unlike Romney, Biden will be assisted by a constellation of outside Democratic groups, including Priorities USA and American Bridge, which announced this week a strategic decision to defend Biden this spring in key swing states, even though he has not yet locked up the nomination.As it stands now, the campaign’s senior leadership remains a kitchen cabinet of new and old advisers, a setup Biden has used throughout a political career that spans more than four decades.
Just this week, Rufus Gifford, who ran Obama’s 2012 reelection finance operation, emailed hundreds of donors and fundraisers in his network to help the campaign counter Trump’s fundraising machine and to help direct donations to the national and state Democratic parties.“Now it’s about building a long-term infrastructure, making sure the money continues to flow,” Gifford said Wednesday. “You have the recipe for a real success and a real coalition to pull the voters across the finish line.
Biden himself has from time to time begun openly ruminating about a potential Cabinet — last week telling O’Rourke, seemingly off-the-cuff, that he could lead the effort on gun-control policy — and about finding a vice president who could be to him what he was to Obama. He is almost certain to pick a woman to be his running mate, according to allies in close contact with the campaign. During the MSNBC interview, Biden also said it was “very important” that his pick will have been tested on the presidential campaign stage, which could narrow his options.
