He’s named his Chief-of -Staff already….
We now are finding out more names of propel that will run the Biden admin close staff jobs….
These are names behind the term ‘The White House’ and will be the people that even cabinet people have to go thru….
There have been media guesses (and complaints already) about ‘outside’ people that might make political groups happy. won’t be picked…But that seldom is the way things go… And especially for Biden one would thing with his extensive government service…He is bound to be bring in ‘old hands’ he can trust (these are from the campaign) ….and are, pardon the expression ….’loyal to him’… the county and the law……
This is another action that is slowing drain power from Donald Trump’s grasp on the American government….
No longer will the focus from the outside be on the Trump people with the same titles going forward….
The incoming people will now be getting attention , phone calls and beginning to work on policy….
The Trump people in those jobs will be are looking for new jobs outside the government….
President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. will formally announce key members of his White House staff on Tuesday, naming Representative Cedric L. Richmond of Louisiana to oversee public outreach and installing Jennifer O’Malley Dillon, who managed his presidential campaign, as a deputy chief of staff, a person familiar with the transition said.
Mr. Biden will also announce that Steve Ricchetti, a longtime confidant, will serve in the White House as a counselor to the president. All three will most likely have offices down the hall from the Oval Office, making them among the most senior aides in the West Wing.
Mr. Richmond will inherit a job once held by Valerie Jarrett in the Obama administration. Kellyanne Conway was President Trump’s counselor, the job that Mr. Ricchetti will take. And Ms. O’Malley Dillon will probably oversee White House operations for Mr. Biden.
A spokesman for the transition declined to comment. A person familiar with the transition planning said the three appointments would be announced along with other members of the president-elect’s staff.
Decisions about cabinet secretaries remain several weeks away, according to people close to Mr. Biden, who has spent several days during the past week in closed-door discussions with advisers about the challenge of winning confirmation fights if the Senate remains in Republican control next year.
By contrast, White House staff positions do not require Senate confirmation, leaving the president-elect wide latitude in selecting his West Wing advisers.
The announcements come as Mr. Biden moves quickly to establish his governing agenda and the team he will need to put it into effect once he takes office. The president-elect is under pressure to fill those jobs with people of diverse ethnic and ideological backgrounds, making good on promises he made during his campaign.
But the appointments of Mr. Richmond, Ms. O’Malley Dillon and Mr. Ricchetti — all loyal lieutenants to Mr. Biden — suggest the importance that he is also placing on surrounding himself with people whose advice he implicitly trusts….
