New Staff Puts Kamala Harris Back Inside the Loop

NBC News: “Interviews with more than a dozen White House officials and others close to the administration say that a Harris staff shake-up has led to a closer relationship with those in the West Wing, contributing to greater involvement in the White House’s response at key moments. While Harris’ previous chief of staff had participated in senior staff and strategy meetings, the vice president’s new chief of staff, Lorraine Voles, was added to a separate daily meeting of Biden’s closest advisers at Harris’ request.”

“Harris herself has had a weekly one-on-one with chief of staff Ron Klain, who had served as chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore and Biden himself, since the start of the administration.”
