Senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn held an all-White House staff call this afternoon following President Joe Biden’s decision to leave the 2024 race. During the call, she emphasized the importance of focusing on supporting and defending Vice President Kamala Harris. This information comes from a reliable source familiar with the situation.
Dunn, a key figure in the Biden administration, was reportedly unaware of Biden’s decision until just moments before his official announcement was made public. Despite this, she reassured staff members that their previous statements denying Biden's withdrawal from the race were not incorrect, given the timing of the decision.
The call served as a platform for Dunn to rally the White House staff around Vice President Harris and to encourage unity and solidarity within the administration. The transition of support from President Biden to Vice President Harris is expected to be a focal point moving forward.
