Julie Chavez Rodriguez, the campaign manager for President Joe Biden, has a strong connection to Vice President Kamala Harris. She previously served as Harris' state director during her time as a California senator and was also part of her 2020 presidential campaign team.
On Sunday, allies of Harris highlighted this close relationship to emphasize the continuity and familiarity within the Biden campaign leadership. With Biden stepping aside, there is a level of certainty and stability in having someone like Chavez Rodriguez, who has a deep understanding of Vice President Harris and a long-standing history with her.
Reports indicate that during an all-staff call with the Biden campaign team and Democratic National Committee staff, both Chavez Rodriguez and Jen O’Malley Dillon expressed their support for Harris. They emphasized the importance of their roles and the need to continue their work despite the changes in leadership.
