Biden hires top Obama aide

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/460715-biden-hires-top-obama-aide


Former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential campaign has hired a longtime Obama White House aide to be a senior adviser and its chief operating officer, sources tell The Hill.

Maju Varghese will help the Biden campaign "hum and work a little more seamlessly," one source said.

"He's a grown-up," the source added. "He understands how things work."

Varghese, a longtime Washington operative, served as an assistant to former President Obama for management and administration and as deputy director of advance at the White House, where he managed day-to-day operations.

He will now bring that experience to the former vice president's campaign.

Varghese will "help in more ways than one," one Biden ally said. "He's a good addition."

Mahalo, highplainsdem!
