NBC News profiles new Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez:
“She has never run a campaign before, much less that of a sitting president warning that democracy is at risk of collapse. And she’s a latecomer to Biden’s inner circle. She worked on Kamala Harris’ 2020 ill-fated presidential campaign before switching to Biden after Harris dropped out.”
Said one Democratic operative: “No one in Democratic politics thinks she’s in charge. And that’s the problem.”
