Bottoms was one of the women under consideration to be tapped as Biden’s running mate in the summer of 2020 before Vice President Kamala Harris was ultimately selected. Bottoms announced last May that she would not seek a second term as mayor. Her new role in the White House was previously occupied by former Rep. Cedric Richmond , another close Biden ally.
“Keisha is bright, honorable, tough and has the integrity required to represent our Administration to the American public,” Biden continued, adding that he and first lady Jill Biden “have known Keisha for a long time and look forward to working with her more closely.” Biden said he was “immensely grateful” for Remus’ service, calling her as “an invaluable member of my senior staff” over the past three years who “helped reinstate a culture of adherence to the rule of law.” He added: “I wish her the best as she moves forward.”
