Tara Palmeri: “Ron Klain’s longevity was supported, at least on some level, by the return of Anita Dunn, who quickly made her mark as a messaging guru for Biden when she arrived back in the White House in April. In short order, she’s ridden the wave of legislative victories for Biden and helped shift the narrative toward a contrast between Biden and a Trump-dominated Republican party.”
“Well-informed sources tell me that Biden has made it clear that he wants Dunn to move up as chief of staff whenever Klain does decide that his time has come, rearranging the deck chairs of his inner circle, where he trusts few and opts against change. The feeling is that Dunn’s strong political instincts are mission critical for the job.”
“Dunn, for her part, has said explicitly, as recently as last month, that she will not be taking the chief of staff job after Klain leaves—whenever that might be. But who knows whether Biden’s desire might be able to overcome this opposition.”
