Biden aides O’Malley Dillon, Donilon to transition from White House to campaign roles

Top aides in the Biden administration are expected to leave their roles in the White House and take on campaign leadership roles as the 2024 presidential election approaches. 

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and White House senior adviser Mike Donilon are expected to take new jobs for Biden's campaign in coming weeks, according to NBC News.

Donilon is expected to take a major role in the campaign’s messaging and paid media strategy while O’Malley Dillon will be helping with the strategy of getting Biden to 270 electoral votes.

President Joe Biden's campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, said Tuesday that she's “excited to have an all-hands-on-deck approach with colleagues that we know have been critical Biden advisers and were on the 2020 campaign."

Rodriguez praised O’Malley Dillon and Donilon, saying they “are stepping up one more time to ensure we finish the job for the American people.”

Former President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign manager called the move "smart."

“This is a smart move by President Biden and Julie – having additional top political aides focus full-time on the re-elect is exactly what you’d expect the White House to do as the general election matchup comes into focus," he said.
