Report: Julie Chavez Rodriguez to be Biden 2024 Campaign Manager

Facts

• US Pres. Joe Biden's team has reportedly picked Julie Chavez Rodriguez, director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and 2020 deputy campaign manager, to manage the president's 2024 re-election campaign.¹
• While the decision was reportedly confirmed by two anonymous sources, the appointment hasn't been finalized and the president hasn't officially declared his run. Rodriguez also worked in the Obama White House and has served in the Biden admin. since June 2022.²
• She is also the granddaughter of labor rights activists Cesar Chávez and Helen Fabela Chávez.³
• Biden's team will reportedly be comprised of White House officials. Aides such as Anita Dunn, Jen O'Malley Dillon, Mike Donilon, and Steve Richetti will reportedly play pivotal roles in the campaign.⁴
• CBS claimed Biden's campaign announcement would come with a video promotion, but that is subject to change. Biden reportedly spent the past weekend in Camp David with his wife and senior aides to finalize preparations.⁵
• Biden will be the oldest candidate to seek re-election in American history. According to the AP-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research, only 26% of Americans and 47% of Democrats would like to see Biden run again.⁶

Narratives

• Left narrative, as provided by CNN. Biden's campaign is moving quickly to finalize staffing for a robust 2024 run. Biden's age, as his advisers continue to project, merely shows his experience. Rodriguez, poised to oversee the campaign, has seen her star rise in the White House and has become part of the small circle of the president's most-trusted advisers.
• Right narrative, as provided by The Gateway Pundit. As Biden prepares to re-run for election, there isn't a single poll that suggests he's in a good position. Inflation, border issues, increases in crime, and the decrease in the value of education have made it clear that Biden simply doesn't deserve a second term. The reality of approval ratings lower than Trump — the man Biden himself called the worst president in history — highlights the poor current state of the Biden administration.
