Amid reports that Mike Bloomberg could team up with Hillary Clinton by making her his running mate, powerful Clinton ally Capricia Marshall is joining the former New York City mayors presidential campaign, Page Six can exclusively reveal. After the news broke on Saturday that internal polling found that a Bloomberg-Clinton ticket would be a formidable force to try to take down President Trump, Bloomberg tweeted, I would not be where I am today without the talented women around me. Ive depended on their leadership, their advice and their contributions.
Now Page Six can reveal that Bloomberg has tapped DC-based Marshall, who was President Bill Clintons White House social secretary from 1997 to 2001. Under the Obama administration, she served as chief of protocol of the United States a sensitive diplomatic position bearing the rank of ambassador from 2009 to 2013.
Prior to that, Marshall was a special assistant to Hillary when she was first lady in 1993. In 2006, Marshall worked on then-Sen. Hillary Clintons re-election and then joined her presidential campaign in 2008. In her role as senior adviser, she led surrogate speakers and helped coordinate womens outreach. She also appears throughout the new Hulu docuseries about Hillary. It was not immediately clear what position Marshall would take on the Bloomberg campaign, which now boasts more than 2,100 staffers. But a Democratic source told Page Six, Capricia Marshall is one of the very top people in Hillarys immediate inner circle, she is far more than a campaign person, far more than a political aide, and is a very respected insider in the Obama circle.
