From a New York Times story by Reid J. Epstein and Katie Glueck headlined “The Tiny, Tight-Lipped Circle of Aides Guiding Biden 2024”:

When President Biden announced his re-election campaign and its top two staff members this week, the names of his closest and longest-serving advisers were not included.

A small circle of senior officials, some who have known Mr. Biden for longer than many of the soon-to-be-hired campaign staff members have been alive, will guide the president’s political strategy both in the White House and on the campaign trail.
