(CNN)Joe Biden's presidential campaign on Saturday reported diversity data for its staff for the first time, disclosing that more than one-third of the presumptive Democratic nominee's staff is comprised of people of color and is majority female.

Thirty-five percent of Joe Biden's full-time staff are people of color, a Biden campaign aide told CNN, while 36% of senior staff are people of color. Both senior staff and full-time staff are majority women, with 53% full-time staff and 58% of senior staff identifying as female. Five percent of staff chose not to specify, the aide told CNN.

The newly disclosed data does not indicate a full breakdown of staffers based on race and ethnicity.

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign released some of its numbers later Saturday.

1. Really??

"Of the campaign's full-time staff, 52% are women, while senior staff are comprised of 56% women and 25% people of color, a spokesperson told CNN's Donald Judd. A breakdown of people of color amongst full-time staff was not available, the spokesperson said."

25% of Trump's senior staff are people of color? Is the color white? Are you counting people two or three times if they have two or three job titles? Do you only have 8 senior staff and Diamond and Silk are your 25%?
