Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced new staff members for his presumptive administration on Tuesday as his White House transition effort continues, though President Donald Trump’s campaign continues to challenge election results in several states.
“I am proud to announce additional members of my senior team who will help us build back better than before. America faces great challenges, and they bring diverse perspectives and a shared commitment to tackling these challenges and emerging on the other side a stronger, more united nation,” Biden said in a statement.
Added Ron Klain, slated to become Biden’s White House chief of staff, “President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris have an ambitious and urgent agenda for action. The team we have already started to assemble will enable us to meet the challenges facing our country on day one.”
Staffers named include:
Anthony Bernal: Senior adviser to Dr. Jill Biden
Bernal was the deputy campaign manager for the Biden-Harris campaign and served all eight years of the Obama-Biden administration in various support staff roles.
Mike Donilon: Senior adviser to the president
Donilon served as counselor to Biden when he was vice president. He has been a Democrat Party operative and pollster for four decades.
Jen O’Malley Dillon: Deputy chief of staff
Dillon was the Biden-Harris campaign manager. She has worked on seven different presidential campaigns.

Biden’s announcements come as the Trump campaign continues to file legal challenges in states where his legal team suspects voting irregularities improperly handed the former vice president victories.
As for the former vice president’s staff, there has already been controversy involving one of his COVID-19 advisers.
Last week, Dr. Michael Osterholm, the director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, recommended Biden impose a four-to-six-week national lockdown, as new cases of the virus spike around the country.
Several red-state governors immediately pushed back, saying they would not implement new lockdowns in their states.
