Jen OMalley Dillon, Steve Ricchetti and Mike Donilon, all senior aides on Bidens campaign, are joining the White House staff, as is Louisiana Representative Cedric Richmond, who will be giving up his seat for a role on Bidens team.
OMalley Dillon, Bidens campaign manager, will be a deputy chief of staff and Ricchetti, Bidens campaign chairman, will be counselor to the president.
