Biden shuffles campaign leadership after 4th-place finish
The Associated Press ^ | February 7, 2020 | By BILL BARROW

Joe Biden is reorganizing his top presidential campaign leadership after a fourth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses, elevating Anita Dunn to a role that effectively puts her in charge of his third White House bid.

Two people with knowledge of the decision confirmed that Dunn, once the top communications aide in President Barack Obama’s White House, would take on an elevated role, but that campaign manager Greg Schultz would retain his title. One of the people told The Associated Press that Dunn will have final decision-making authority. The people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal campaign strategy.

The New York Times first reported that Dunn would take on a new role, citing an email sent Friday from Schultz and longtime Biden aide Steve Ricchetti to the campaign staff and some key supporters.

News of the change broke hours before Biden takes the stage Friday evening for a debate in New Hampshire, where the former vice president spent the days since Monday’s Iowa caucuses taking a much more aggressive posture against some of his top rivals. It also comes just days before New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

Biden has led most national polls of Democratic primary voters since joining the race in April. But he’s faced persistent doubts about the quality of his campaign operation in the early nominating states, and his fundraising has lagged other leading contenders.

That’s right. Blame it on the campaign team and reshuffle the deck.

He is still left with Joe Biden’s brain.

Unless he shuffles someone into HIS spot, he’s still done like dinner. A nice soft, easy to chew dinner at the retirement home.

It's like Hillary blaming everyone but herself. There is a reason why Biden didn't get the nomination the previous times he ran. He doesn't excite anyone.

Biden should be the anybody but Bernie and Buttgig electable candidate, but having been whipped into a frenzy the last three years the Dem base is in no mood for that.

It must have taken some coding errors to bump him up to as high as 4th place.
