From CNN's Arlette Saenz and Eric BradnerJoe Biden is shifting his senior staff structure after a disappointing fourth-place showing in the Iowa caucuses, elevating a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama to help coordinate his campaign operation.
Anita Dunn, who already worked as an adviser to Biden, traveling at times with the former vice president and leading his debate preparation, will now coordinate campaign strategy and also oversee the budget and personnel. Campaign manager Greg Schultz and longtime Biden adviser Steve Ricchetti informed campaign staff of the move in an email on Thursday.
"Most of you already know Anita or may have seen her hanging around communications - she will be working closely with us on campaign strategy and overall coordination on budget and personnel as we build a bigger campaign for the next phase," the email from Schultz and Ricchetti said.The move, first reported by The New York Times, comes as Biden looks to ease the concerns of donors and allies and regain his footing ahead of Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.
Calling his Iowa loss a"gut punch," he has shifted his tone on the campaign trail, displaying a new willingness to attack his Democratic rivals — particularly Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
