They rarely give on-the-record interviews. Only two are on Twitter. But this tiny, tight-lipped circle of aides will be the main force behind President Biden's 2024 strategy.

None of them have significant public personas. Of the six, only Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and Jeff Zients, the White House chief of staff, have active Twitter accounts. But it was members of this group who began making phone calls last weekend to offer positions on Biden’s campaign, only some of which have been announced.Officials in the White House and on his nascent campaign insist the campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodríguez, will be empowered to run Biden’s reelection bid.
Zients has sat in on interviews with and deliberations about potential campaign staff members, and he has a regular political meeting with Biden.When he become Biden’s chief of staff, Zients had a reputation as one of Washington’s top Democratic problem-solvers. He was called in to the Obama administration to fix the health care website after widespread technical problems in 2013. In 2021, Biden tapped him to run the coronavirus response.
“Anita’s default is action,” said Jennifer Palmieri, who served as White House communications director for Obama. “In a party of hand-wringers that Democrats can be, she has a unique leadership style that helps propel movement forward.”Ricchetti, who served as Biden’s vice presidential chief of staff, is a longtime Biden confidant.“Steve is the best I’ve seen at managing relationships and being an open ear to a lot of people,” said former Rep.
He comes from a family accomplished in politics. One brother, Tom Donilon, worked in the Clinton and Obama administrations. Another, Terrence Donilon, is chief spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Boston. Mike Donilon’s sister-in-law, Catherine Russell, was Jill Biden’s chief of staff when Joe Biden was vice president.
O’Malley Dillon became campaign manager just as the pandemic hit. She was responsible for transforming a thin operation into a serious general-election apparatus, and doing so as the world shut down, managing the bid of a then-septuagenarian candidate who would spend much of the rest of the campaign off the trail.
